Drygarn Fawr, Bronze Age cairn in Powys, Wales.
Two beehive-shaped stone structures mark the summit of Drygarn Fawr, standing at 645 meters above sea level in the Cambrian Mountains range.
The western cairn measures 8.8 meters in diameter at its base, with a central structure rising 3.7 meters high, dating from prehistoric times.
The mountain forms part of an extensive network of ancient burial sites scattered across the Welsh hills, reflecting Bronze Age settlement patterns.
Access routes from Llannerch Yrfa and Rhiwnant require navigation equipment and waterproof gear due to frequent poor weather conditions.
The summit features two massive stone cairns positioned 5.8 meters apart, creating distinct landmarks visible from considerable distances across mid-Wales.
