Garn Fawr (Ogmore Valley)
Date Added: 28th Dec 2010
Site Type: Cairn
Country: Wales (South Glamorgan)

Garn Fawr (Ogmore Valley) submitted by Andy B on 13th Oct 2010. At this trig point are two Cairns, the larger one is a much better construction than the nearest. To the right of the nearest are two piles of stones one larger than the other, it seems possible that these piles have been robbed to make the existing cairns.

Carn-Y-Bugail submitted by Andy B on 18th Oct 2010. Garn Felen summit trig point in hailstorm
Two ancient cairns are clearly visible on the horizon beyond the John Kyrle High School Duke of Edinburgh Award students.
This limestone mountain has been extensively quarried on its northwest side but much of it retains a great sense of remoteness. From here there are good views of the central ridges of the Brecon Beacons to the north-west and the Bristol Channel may be glimpsed in the opposite direction.

Site Type: Standing Stone (Menhir)
Country: Wales (Powys)
Visited: Yes on 28th Jun 2013
Maen Llia submitted by Andy B on 28th Jun 2013. Brecon Beacons National Park Authority is seeking to highlight the importance of the National Park’s heritage sites after a Bronze Age standing stone was vandalised, as it was previously in 2002.
At some time over the last few weeks Maen Llia standing stone, a Scheduled Ancient Monument situated between Heol Senni and Ystradfellte, has been defaced, with graffiti daubed on the protected stone.
See the site page for more details
