Description
A round cairn located on the highest point of Cerrig yr Hafan, above quarries and mines which lie to the south. It measures about 10m in diameter but has spread through extensive disturbance of the cairn mass giving it an amorphous appearance. The interior has been hollowed and shelters built at the cairn's western edge and to its immediate north. Cairn material has also spilt down a steep slope which flanks the cairn on its south-east. No structural elements were seen.
Small satellite cairns have been noted to the north-east.
