Mynydd yr Eglwys

Cairn(s)

thesweetcheat Jul 12, 2013

Pair of small cairns, possibly clearance rather than sepulchral, on Mynydd yr Eglwys, on the ridge between the valleys of Rhondda Fawr and Rhondda Fach.

Coflein descriptions (NE to SW):

Mynydd yr Eglwys Cairn II (SS98199640)

A small cairn, 4m diameter and 0.5m high, and one of a pair. It is grass-covered but there are stones visible. It is probably a clearance cairn.

Mynydd yr Eglwys Cairn I (SS98159636)

A small cairn, 3m diameter and 0.5m high, and one of a pair. It is grass covered, but there are stones visible. It is probably a clearance cairn.
