Foel Drygarn

Primary Reference Number (PRN) : 1009
Trust : Dyfed
Community : Crymych
Unitary authority : Pembrokeshire
NGR : SN1574733590
Site Type (preferred type first) : Bronze Age Round Barrow
Status : CL , Pembrokeshire Coast National Park , Site of Special Scientific Interest

Summary :
The most westerly of three large cairns located on top of Foel Drygarn. The site is much disturbed by 'huts' and hollows created in the cairn by visitors, and between this cairn and neighbouring site PRN 1206 there is a modern drystone hut, 5m in diameter, constructed on the ground. This might account for the 3m wide and 1.4m deep depression in the centre/W side of the cairn. The cairn stands 3.2m high and has a diameter of 24.5m. Neighbouring cairn PRN 1206 (surmounted by a trig point) lies 12m to the NE. N. Cook PFRS 2004
