The remains of a Bronze Age round barrow sit at the bottom of Caer Caradoc, a short distance from the end of the causeway. The barrow is low, but quite cleary discernible, in the field opposite the causeway. Marked on the Explorer map as a tumulus.
Magnificent views abound from this location, but it can be a challenging walk.
