The little Rhos Y Beddau complex is that-a-way. Hill walkers might be interested in Post Gwyn, too.

A nice substantial cairn... how this didn’t register with me on the way to Rhos y Beddau some years back now is an utter mystery.

Visited this site on 27th june 2004 it is a small circle with two parallel lines of standing stones leading away in the direction of the cairn. The day was very pleasant and rewarding after quite a long walk in from Llangynog. We both felt that the effort was well worth it.
