The substantial footprint – as well as the sloping angle – of the southern cairn can hopefully be appreciated here. As I sat, some 5 or 6 moron trail bikers ‘roared’ up, one fool even riding across the cairn in an apparent attempt to intimidate me. It took a lot of control, but I somehow managed not to move or speak... just stare him out.... and this had the deserved effect.... the half-wits fleeing as fast as their little wheels would carry them. Never have I been so glad a cairn did not retain its internal arrangements.

The northern of the pair at SO0665055430.... large footprint, but much less conspicuous owing to the almost total grassy mantle...

Looking approx south into the heart of the Carneddau; Carneddau Hill possesses another massive cairn (just out of shot top right) while, over the ridge to the left, sits a rather fine promontory fort overlooking Cwm Berwyn.
