As with its neighbour surmounting Bryn Mawr, the cairn crowning the summit crags of Craig Twrch has been substantially messed about with by fools with no regard for who they are... where they are from... and, presumably, where they are going. However, unlike Bryn Mawr’s poor monument, the great circular footprint can still be readily discerned here.
Furthermore, the enclosure and particularly large marker cairn created from the stone pile (arguably) do possess a kinda dodgy charm. The positioning is excellent, the monument perched upon – and encroaching upon the edge of – impressive rocky crags, this reminding the impressed visit somewhat of, say, a Dartmoor ‘tor cairn’?
The monument overlooks a number of other, smaller cairns, like Mother Hen watching over her brood. One, however, located just off the main path beyond the fence line to the south, is quite unexpectedly probably the finest – after Carn Fawr, obviously – upon the whole ridge, bearing the well preserved remains of a cist.
