Description
A group of small cairns spread either side of Senghennydd Dyke. They all vary in size and shape and appear to have an agricultural origin. The three south of the dyke appear unchanged (as of 1991). Those to the north are enveloped in dense bracken; not all were seen though no obvious changes in land use have occurred to suggest the remainder no longer exist.

An additional cairn was noted on the immediate north side of the dyke, at ST 11469224. It measures 7m (NE-SW) by 3m and 0.2m high.
