Good spot to spend the evening.... with northern Snowdonia arranged upon the horizon in serried rank. The activities of not-so-modern ‘antiquarians’ are obvious.

A hefty round barrow, this. Nice.

Boncyn Crwn

Round Barrow(s)

postman Apr 5, 2010

From the A543 drive north up single file lane past Llyn Aled and Aled Isaf reservoir and a few miles further north this big barrow is dead obvious and right next to the road.
About two metres tall with antiquarian tamperings visible on top, this is a big barrow on a wide ridges crest and visible for miles, the rain was coming at me sideways and the wind was really bashing me about, even in the mist I could see for miles and I couldnt help smiling to myself,
I must be daft being here right now, but I did enjoy it.
