Carn Menyn Round Cairn
Carn menyn Round Cairn is not excavated megalithic unexplained type (presumably a grave chamber ( English chambered tomb )) in Mynachlog-Ddu in Newport in Pembrokeshire in Wales .
The cairn, which is up to 1.5 m high at the northeast end, is egg-shaped and measures around 13.0 m × 12.0 m. In the southwest the Cairn is a field of debris that has fallen into a water channel. The north-west side of the central chamber, on which a 2.7 m × 2.3 m measuring up to 0.6 m thick capstone rests, has collapsed. Two splayed arms with exposed brickwork form a possible forecourt filled with rubble on the south-west side.
The Carn Meini Tomb and the menhirs Carn Breseb Pointer, Stone River Stone and Carn Menyn Marker are nearby.
