PRN 34009 - Mynydd y Cemmaes cairn III

Oval shaped cairn composed of turfed-over stones and earth. Some stones poking through turf and appear to be well set. Concentration of stones at centre may suggest a cist (CPAT 1996).

Cairn aligned east-west 8x5m and up to 0.4m high. No positive evidence for a central cist. Site could be prehistoric burial cairn or Post Medieval boundary cairn (Carter, S & Baker, L, 2000).
