Carnedd gron Blaen Llynor

Carnedd gron Blaen Llynor is a round cairn in Denbighshire, Wales. It stands on a hillside near the village of Llandrillo, close to the source of the River Llynor. The site dates from the late Neolithic to the early Bronze Age, around 2500 to 1500 BCE. Round cairns like this were often built as burial or ceremonial monuments. They differ from ring cairns, which have a distinct circular shape. The cairn has been recognised as an important ancient monument. It is listed by Cadw, the historic environment service of the Welsh Government, under the reference DE302. The builders of such cairns also constructed chambered tombs, burial mounds, stone circles, hillforts, and standing stones. These structures show the organised efforts of Neolithic and Bronze Age communities. Visitors to the site find a grass-covered mound surrounded by open moorland. The location offers wide views across the landscape of Denbighshire. The surrounding area includes other ancient remains, linking the cairn to a wider prehistoric landscape. The site is quiet and remote, ideal for those interested in ancient history and the natural setting.
