Anyone looking to find the ring cairn could look out for this sizeable natural boulder next to the track to the south (the boulder is visible from the track whereas the ring cairn, being elevated above the track, is not). The ring cairn can be seen occupying the flat ground behind.
Fine cist at the SSE of the ring cairn.
Looking south from the entrance across the valley below.
Fallen slabs at the southern entrance into the ring cairn.
General view across the interior of the ring cairn. The greener line below the trees is the bank.
Description from “A Guide To Ancient and Historic Wales – Glamorgan and Gwent” – Elisabeth Whittle (1992 HMSO):
This is a large oval ring cairn, consisting of a low stony bank with level ground inside it. On the north-east side there are traces of the original kerb on the inner face of the bank. There is an entrance to the south which may have been lined by upright slabs; three are still visible, leaning or fallen. A smaller entrance on the north-west still has one of its jamb stones in place. On the south-east of the interior is a small cist with three of its sides still intact. Three small holes to the north may indicate the position of upright stones, long since disappeared.
The book has a plan of the ring cairn.
