Looking east across the northern cairn. The steeply scarped hillside opposite is Mynydd William Meyrick, which has two trashed cairns (Garn Fawr and Garn Fach) that would probably be intervisible with this monument. Garn Fach is amongst the windfarm now.

Two cairns on Mynydd Llangeinwyr, Coflein/GGAT descriptions:

Southern cairn (SS9197090610)

An oval stony mound, 7.6m E-W by 6.1m and 0.3m high.

Entirely grass-covered and roughly flat-topped mound, slightly dished in from the edges; stone can be detected in the interior so it is unlikely to be a ring cairn, unless the centre was later filled. Sheep track runs across monument N-S, and appears to have dug into it slightly.

Northern cairn (SS9198291967)

This low circular cairn measures 6 metres in diameter, and is up to 0.5 metres high. It is covered with bilberry and grass.

The northern cairn is not marked on the OS map.
