Drosgl Cairn Two Bronze Age cairns, one very big and one very small, lie on the summit of Drosgl in the Carneddau Mountains of Snowdonia.

The cairns were excavated in 1976. Two cists were found in the large cairn, one containing cremated bone and a whetstone. The small cairn contained the cremated bones of a young woman.

The small cairn has been restored and has an interesting drum like appearance.

All round spectacular views are afforded from these mountain top monuments, northwards across Conwy Bay to Anglesey and southwards up to the mighty Carnedd Llewelyn and the high Carneddau peaks.
