Two Bronze Age cairns standing overlooking Cwrt-y-Cadno (The Fox Court) upon the south-western flanks of Mynydd Mallaen. A good excuse to lose yourself (not literally, one would hope) for several hours upon these hills. The southern monument remains pretty substantial, the northern rather 'lower', yet still retaining a significant diameter. Both cairns feature a prominent 'slab' which may, or may not have formally been part of a cist or chamber. Who knows? Nowadays, this part of Mid Wales is a haven of tranquillity... however, this wasn't always the case. The Romans - yeah, them - came to mine gold, the remains of their aqueducts apparently still visible if you know where to look (The Citizen Cairn did not). Later on, Cwrt-y-Cadno was a noted 'stop-over' point for drovers taking their cattle all the way to London. Times change, eh? Coflein notes: "Remains of two burial mounds, situated in enclosed pasture. The northernmost cairn (Item A: SN69594299) measures about 14m in diameter and up to 0.6m in height".

| This is by far the most significant of a small cemetery of cairns located below, and a little to the south, of the great summit cairn of Craig Twrch... the well-preserved cist found to be still in situ makes a pause here imperative. |

Cefn Pal Hillfort, CynghordyIntriguing and not overly clear defended enclosure... |

Cefn Pal Hillfort, Cynghordy — Miscellaneous |

Located above the Afon Bran, a little way south of Cynghordy, this obscure defensive enclosure appeared - from a quick perusal of the map - to represent the remains of a promontory fort. However, upon arrival, it became apparent that there is more here than initially meets the eye.... Yeah, sure enough, the visitor is confronted by powerful banks covering the northern aspect, these curving around to the west. However, this is no highly defensive promontory, meaning additional earthworks - not immediately apparent - would have been required to the southwest. Consequently, The Citizen Cairn went walkabout to discover what appeared to be the remains of said southern defences some way downhill. Now whether what I found are actually of prehistoric origin is perhaps open to interpretation.. just saying I believe such a conclusion is supported by the evidence on the ground. See what you think? Whatever, it is a wondrous, tranquil spot to hang out for a while, the northern earthworks more than enough for any interested punter. Incidentally, the map indicates an additional, smaller enclosure some way to the north. I did not visit - since I was intent upon an audience with the Tri Chrugiau (upon Mynydd Epynt) during a break in the Army firing schedule - but worth a look, too? |
