Carneddau Hengwm Long Cairns

Gwynedd, Wales.

In the hills above the Merioneth Coast two long cairns stand to the north and south, both of which have been badly damaged. The northern cairn which is more ruinous is the smaller and has 2 burial chambers and a large capstone at the western end. 

The southern cairn is much larger and better preserved. In the centre is a collapsed Portal Dolmen with a dry-stone wall passage leading in from the north.
