Foel Cwmcerwyn
Foel Cwmcerwyn is the highest point of the Preseli Mountains and of Pembrokeshire.
Location
Foel Cwmcerwyn lies within the borders of the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park,[1] which includes most of the Preselis. A path leads to the summit from the village of Rosebush in the southwest.
Features
A trig point and a number of cairns are dotted across the summit area, and there is a disused quarry on the hill's western slopes as well as managed forest.[2][3]
The peak features on numerous walking routes and trails.[4][5][6][7]
Burial cairn
A Bronze Age burial cairn close to the summit is listed by the Royal Commission's website Coflein as
occupying a spectacular south-facing spur... The mound is flat-topped, sub-circular, measuring some 18-19m in diameter and being 1.2-1.5m high, apparently undisturbed.[8]
