It may not be the best cairn in the world, let alone the best double cairn, but the setting is a bit special. Looking up the Afon Ysgethin valley towards Diffwys.

The small, turf covered cairn. Moelfre, inevitably, rises behind.

Pont Scethin, Double cairn

The map just says cairn, and I think we found a cairn, well, it was a slight bump with several stones protruding, if it’s where maps says a cairn is then it must be a cairn. But for some reason know it all smarty pants Coflein says it’s a double cairn, whatever one of them is. It gives no more information at all, there is only one cairn, and even that one is easily ignored, as it is almost flush with the ground.

Dear Coflein
About this double cairn at Pont Scethin, I believe you have been grossly mislead, so I submit myself for employment at your soonest convenience, presumably when you have laid off your current, erm...fool?
Yours sincerely
Postman
