Fenced and overgrown, with a field of mud around, this was as close as I got.

Indentations across one of the uprights. Oolitic limestone is very porous and prone to holes, so these are probably natural. They are very cupmark-like though.

Looking over the damaged cairn towards the northern Carneddau. Ominous thunder was rolling from that direction, but luckily it never headed our way.

Not quite the nice sunshine experienced by my TMA predecessors at this site, but worth the diversion.

Light fades prematurely over Tal-y-Fan, all trace of the morning’s sunshine long gone.

Either an irregularly shaped clearance cairn or (very) scant remains of a sheep shelter. Hard to tell, but great view of Llwytmor.

Small cairn to the east of (and across the main N-S path from) the cairn with cist.
