The low mound of the cairn is centre of image, lost somewhat in the vegetation. Looking towards the Senghenydd Ridge, covered with a succession of cairns.

Image of Cefn Gwyngul (Round Cairn) by thesweetcheat

Not the easiest monument to photograph, as it is very low and surrounded by tall reedy grasses. However, the northern arc can be seen curving across the left of the picture. The collapsed wall bisects the top of the cairn. Looking east.
