View W of Moel Ty-uchaf Bronze Age cairn circle, Llandrillo, Denbighshire, Wales, UK: 41 contiguous stones up to high form a kerb whose outer face is a near-circle (possibly made up of 3 flattened arcs) with a diameter of 12m. Small stones fill gaps between the larger ones & continue the outline across larger gaps. A 3m gap at the SE (L) & another at the E may be entrances. The remains of a burial cist lie at the centre of the kerb circle which may have been flat (platform cairn) or covered by a mound. There is a standing stone, a platform cairn & other BA burials on the hillside.
