Description
Twelve cairns are depicted, of which nine are recorded by RCAHMW as being 3.0-5.0m in diameterand up to 0.5m high, occupying an area described by a triangle, c.94m NW-SE across the base, by c.132m NE-SW (RCAHMW 1976 (Glamorgan I.1), 120) .
Six of the cairns noted by RCAHMW had been disturbed, possibly by excavation in c.1905, when the SE cairn was examined and interpreted as a roundhouse; walls connecting the cairns were reported in the same period (AC6 1906, 281-2).
