Image of Caer-moel (Ring Cairn) by thesweetcheat

Looking west from the ring, there are plentiful other prehistoric monuments nearby: the Twyn-hwyel cairn (near the three masts, left skyline), Carneddi Llwydion (near the pylon, centre) and Cwmeldeg cairns (far right).

Difficult to find and even more difficult to photograph, even in winter. The green is the bank of the ring, a couple of stones can be seen protruding. Looking east-ish towards Mynydd Eglwysilan.
