Tomen y Meirw

Round Barrow(s)

postman Feb 13, 2007

I thought this would be a short foray into new teritory but alas I’d already been past here once in my old 4wd (and you really do need one the road is really rough)god knows how I missed this big barrow. A ten minute walk from the road, down hill over stream up hill over fence and your there , but there is an unwelcoming feel to the place, probably the sign on the gate. Good views everywhere except to the west
