NAR SS58NW21




A possible ring cairn defined by a stony penannular 0.6m high ring bank measuring 9m in overall diameter, 4.5m internally, apparently partly cut into rising ground on the SE. There are opposing gaps in the bank on the WNW and ESE. The site is rendered indistinct due to overgrowth of gorse and bracken. Entranced ring cairns are a feature of Cefn Bryn (some have been excavated by A.H.Ward). However, this one lies in close proximity to two burnt mounds (300047-8) which raises the possibility that the ring feature had a function connected with them; some kind of shelter or dwelling for example.
