Cwm Cadlan Ring Cairns

Well preserved Bronze Age *ring cairn  on moorland at  Cwm Cadlan near Penderyn  .This  large monument is just over 15 metres in diameter from east to west  . The outer bank of stones is 2-3 metres wide   .

 Two more ring cairns are 200 metres south from here.  

 *'Ring cairns may have had a function that lay somewhere between that of the much older henges and the contemporary stone circles. The fact that in southeast Wales there are so few stone circles could be related to the fact that ring cairns were built there instead '.(wikipedia)
