3. An earthen round barrow, 16m in diameter and 1.3m high, situated in a saddle between Little Hill and Llyn y Waun. The top of the barrow is flat but has been disturbed by animal activity and possibly by humans as there is a large hollow to the northwest of the top of the mound. A smaller mound, NPRN 289361, approximately 20m to the north, has formerly been interpreted as natural, a possible round barrow or a possible gibbet mound. When the barrow was recorded in June 2006 it was covered in heather.
