Foel Chwern

Foel Chwern is a Bronze Age round cairn on the high plateau east of the Neath valley, near the summit of Craig y Llyn in Wales [1]. This burial monument sits on a steep scarp slope with commanding views to the north [1]. The headwaters of the River Rhondda lie to the southwest [1]. The site is surrounded by conifer plantations of Rheola Forest, and the Coed Morgannwg Way long-distance footpath passes nearby [1].
