Landscape context and a retrospective of the previous image; the cairn is in the sunlit field in the centre of the shot, with sheep. The hill rising on the left skyline is Gilwern Hill (stone circle and cairns). Afon Gwy lies between and below, out of sight of the cairn.
Looking west.
Looking northwest. The rising ground on the skyline is the eastern edge of the Elenydd uplands.
There’s plenty of stone showing through the nettles.
From the west. The monument isn’t particularly enhanced by the rusting bail sledge.
CPAT description:
The cairn is relatively centrally placed on the level plateau of the spur. The site lies just to the NW of the confluence of two rivers, with the R Wye just to the east and the Hirnant to the west. The site is a low circular mound, partially turfed over but with much stone still evident. It appears to be formed of heaped stone with some recent additions, presumably from clearance. The upper surface is level, with no structural components visible (CPAT 2005).
