Garn Fawr rises beyond the little Carreg Garn Fawr... with Y Mynydd Du above all...

Looking south towards the Great Old Red Sandstone Escarpment of South Wales.. Pen-y-Fan and Corn Du are far top left, leading the eye across Fforest Fawr to Y Mynydd Du... upland cairns literally as far as the eye can see.

Looking across the plundered centre of the cairn to the distant Bryn-poeth Uchaf ring cairns and stone circle of Cerrig Cynnant. Note the associated little quartzite standing stone Carreg Garn Fawr centre left of image. Crowning the horizon will be the wondrous Cerrig Cewri and Carn Twrch.

Although stone work is most visible upon the southern (far) arc, this is clearly a well-preserved monument..

Again, note my trekking poles defining the surviving arc... or at least what I could see remaining above ground.

The only true ‘standing stone’ in the ring.... but it’s a good one.

One may just make out my trekking poles marking the surviving arc beyond?
