I guess this shot was taken at the north west end of the Gaewern site - looking down to Rhognant floor 4 from floor 3 - does anyone have any more pictures of this area and the drumhouse ? I presume the ones in the archive album are also of this incline.

Cheers

The map is the territory - especially in chain scale.

Thanks Thorpey, you inspired me enough to have a quick (shivering) diversion just before the New Year before having a day under Braich Goch with JonK. Not the best conditions for photography on the surface, but I was able to take a few. Some strange slate statuary (?) around the place and a large yurt (?) near the bottom of the incline, with lots of sawdust and bits of packing crate around. Presumably someone lives (?) there.
