The last cairn of the day, and two cyclists enter the picture, the only people I’ve seen up here today, I bet they aren’t going to the stone circle though.
A cairn with a view, not just the scenery but a fallen pair of stones and two or three other cairns.
The highest, furthest from my car cairn, but still barely a quarter of the way to Crugian Bach stone circle behind me.
The most low key cairn here is closest to the fallen stones, beyond
Apart from the big cist laden cairn there’s three others here in close proximity. This one is the most unobtrusive of the three and closest to the fallen stones.
Craig Cnwch frames the cist laden cairn.
A most decent cairn with much cisty goodness.
The exposed cist, and a boundary stone, one of many round here, try not to let them get in the way.
Craig Cnwch is the minor peak in the beyond.
Looking over the cist capstone west.
Looking over the cist to more cairns and a fallen pair of stones.
A disperate pair of fallen standing stones, and one of the nearby cairns.
It looks wild and out of the way doesn’t it, my car is just out of view by the left most tree.
The larger of the two fallen stones, or, the remains of a massively out of place recumbent stone circle.
A pair of fallen stones, one much bigger than the other.
looking south east over the stone circle to cairn topped Y Gamriw.
The larger stones seem to be at the south east end towards the mountain Y Gamriw.
Looking north east over the tallest of Crugian Bachs circle stones.
The south east half of the circle and the central prostrate stone on the left.
The fallen central stone, I’m quite convinced.
This stone was trying to get away with not having it’s photo taken, I talked it round.
The larger of a prostrate pair, north eastish of the stone circle by a hundred meters maybe.
This is either one of the already mentioned fallen stones, or another one.
Low stoney ramparts, across the Mawddach is Pared-y-Cefn-Hir hill fort.
Low stoney rampart rising up to the stone pile at the top, low clouds smother the south end of the Rhinogydds.
Looking south to a mist hidden Cader Idris, Pared-y-Cefn-Hir hill fort is top right.
The stoney rampart, in the bright green field far away is Cerrig Arthur stone circle.
The rim of the fort, looking down over the Mawddach estuary.
Looks like a cairn, but this is part of a hill fort, the highest ground in the fort has a big stone pile, I like to think it’s what left of the one house that was here.
Bryn Castell.
In the trees on the left is a standing stone and a rock carving of a sword, in the green field beyond the trees is Cerrig Arthur stone circle.
Garn Boduan is central, Carn Fadrun beyond and left.
It’s only right that one of the huts be converted into a walkers shelter......wimps.
The citadel, from whence Knights rush forth presumably.
The highest part of the fort, often called the citadel, in the same way that an Englishmans home is his castle.
