Why it's Wildland
5.8A Bronze Age monument on a ridge, its three broken fragments held together by iron bands.
This is a small, focused heritage visit rather than a full-day destination: the reward is seeing an early Bronze Age stone still standing on a ridge, with its dramatic repairs plainly visible. Cadw advises visiting during its set hours; the ground may be slippery or muddy.
