One of my very favourite sites for today's #StandingStoneSunday

Moel ty Uchaf ('Highest House on the Bare Hill') is a superb cairn circle set in an elevated position on the foothills of Y Berwyn mountain range above Llandrillo. It has extensive views across the Dee towards all the main mountain ranges of North Wales from Aranau to Y Carneddau.

This visit May 2012 on my way up to Cadair Bronwen.

A ring of low stones, standing closely spaced to form a continuous kerb. On the left foreground section of the arc, half a dozen of the stones are much smaller and barely break the surface of the turf, giving the impression of a deliberate entrance into the ring. Stones in the centre of the ring indicate the remains of a burial cairn. The ring stands on a grassy hillside overlooking a broad valley bordered by grassy hills. Beyond that, the skyline is filled with distant mountain ranges. It's partially overcast with cloud but sunny on the circle.

#SilentSunday #Berwynnau #Wales

Looking along the top of a mountain escarpment. Cliffs fall steeply away on the left. A ridge leads off to the left, cradling an upland lake (Llyn Lluncaws) within its embrace. The ground rises to a summit on the right (Moel Sych) topped with a low Bronze Age cairn. It's partially cloudy and the silvery surface of the lake mirrors the cloud. Beyond the ridge on the left, hills roll away endlessly into the blue.
