Coflein mentions three cists upon Bryn Dinas, one of which apparently could not be located... perhaps it was this one? It’s near enough.

The cairn doesn’t exactly scream for attention, does it?... the positioning is far too exquisite. The path to Trum Gelli is obvious, the viewpoint Bryn Dinas.

Cairn between Bryn Dinas and Allt Gwyddgwion

Cairn(s)

GLADMAN Jan 16, 2018

This cairn... featuring what I took to be remnants of a cist within... sits between Bryn Dinas and Allt Gwyddgwion (’No shit, Sherlock!’ I hear you exclaim), the latter the elongated south-western ridge of the wondrously be-cairned Trum Gelli. As such, be sure to pay a visit if heading for the western Tarrens, the monument a little to the right of the path – such as it is – when approaching from the main green track traversing these parts.

Coflein gives the dimensions thus:

“The cairn is 2 metres in diameter and 0.6 metres high. See survey report Tywyn Dolgoch, by M.J. Roseveare, ArchaeoPhysica Ltd.” RCAHMW, 14/12/2007
