My thanks to PAB for instructions on how to find the cave - "... and when you come to the sign warning you of the dangers of cliffs, follow the path down" !?!

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.

A close up of the dislodged cist capstone. The cairn appears to be built mainly of old red sandstone.

The last remaining of 3 cairns. The others were used to build the wall!
This shot is looking E, but the view to the S shows 12 cairns on the horizon - pure magic!

Carn Goch (Carmarthenshire) submitted by sem on 14th Dec 2011. Long Cairn
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.

This is shown on OS maps as a cairn ring and has obviously been robbed out at some point.

Pebyll Cairn submitted by sem on 14th Jan 2012. Pebyll.
Although the bank is hard to distinguish (and even worse to photograph) the SSE entrance can be picked out due to the jamb stones.

To the NE would be a good view of the Brecon Beacons, if it wasn't blocked by the trees.

Tair Carn Isaf submitted by sem on 12th Feb 2012. Cairn A
Cairn B can be seen on the horizon. The difference in altitiude suggests that this cairn is not part of the grouping.

Tyn'r y selar submitted by sem on 1st Apr 2012. Ancient & Modern
The efficacy of this stone remains undiminished. It is able to power the National Grid and levitate a white lorry and red car simultaneously.
On the more mundane side, it is often a perch for buzzards who fly away at the first sight of a camera.
