The cache is
placed near Carreg Bica a large standing stone on Drummau
Mountain.
The stone is
local sandstone and is around 13ft high and is believed to be a
bica monument. The word "carreg" means "stone" in Welsh. It was
mentioned in a charter to King John to William de Breos in 1203 as
"meynhirion" as a boundary stone marking the Gower.
The stone
walled fields on the mountain top were constructed by the
Cistercian monks from nearby Neath Abbey and many sections are
still standing from Cistercian times.
The cache is a
one litre lock and lock type plastic box. Hope you enjoy the cache
and the views.
The standing
stone Carreg Bica is a short distance from the cache at N51° 40.763
W003° 50.746
