At least six other cairns are visible on the ridge just south of here. But the old gods stubbornly refused to lift the cloud and allow me a photograph of them.

It's dimensions are given as length=55m, width=20m and height=3m, but it is not until you see the two people standing to the left that you realise the true scale and magnificence of this monument.

Cairn B can be seen on the horizon. The difference in altitiude suggests that this cairn is not part of the grouping.

These cairns are clearly visible from the West despite not being on the skyline, as their high quartz content makes them glisten in the sunlight.

Just one of a number of cairns in the area that appear to be "twinned" with others.
The high point on the closest horizon is Trichrug.

Maen Llwyd, St Ishmail submitted by sem on 28th Jun 2012. It has been suggested that a bucket and spade bought in the nearby tourist shops, would be a good investment for any would-be archaeologist at this site.

Sythfaen (Carmarthenshire) submitted by sem on 18th Jan 2012. Sythfaen
Standing by the road-side and dwarfed by a modern pole, Sythfaen looks forlorn. Nearly strangled by undergrowth and not even afforded the dignity of being used as a gate-post, how are the mighty fallen.
