The last cairn of the day, and two cyclists enter the picture, the only people I’ve seen up here today, I bet they aren’t going to the stone circle though.

A cairn with a view, not just the scenery but a fallen pair of stones and two or three other cairns.

The highest, furthest from my car cairn, but still barely a quarter of the way to Crugian Bach stone circle behind me.

The most low key cairn here is closest to the fallen stones, beyond

Apart from the big cist laden cairn there’s three others here in close proximity. This one is the most unobtrusive of the three and closest to the fallen stones.

The cairn at SN93176320, I believe. Although technically this may actually be upon Allt Goch, the monument lies a short distance below and to the north of the other cairn.

Crugian Bach Cairn(s)

Cairn(s)

postman May 1, 2017

Not including Ty’n Y Graig, Craig Cnwch cairn with cist, there are three cairns here, one a low stoney grassy mound north of the path by a pair of stones. The other two are left of the path that you might take to Crugian Bach stone circle, both have more exposed stone than the lowest of the three, but not much in the way of cists. Good views of valley and hills, cant see the reservoir from here, but I can see where Rhos y Gelynnen stone row is, away west.
