Carn-y-Wiwer Round Cairn

Carn -y- Wiwer (ss 9019903 ) 
 

Moutain bike to the top of the Bwlch then along the top . Then on- to the forestry road which goes  through ,Pen y Cymoedd Wind Farm . Turned out to be pretty exciting ride  .Overhead i spot  a Sparrowhawk wings fluttering  almost motionless over a clearing   . Further on a bushy tailed fox crosses the road a few metres from me , lucky me . Approaching  the cairn I can't see much from the road  . I walk up  small avenue of trees turning right to see a fenced off area where the cairn is . There isn't much to see .  What remains of  Carn - y - Wiwer is  a few stones the rest is long gone or is hidden beneath thick undergrowth .
