Radyr Burnt Mound

Within Radyr Woods you'll come across a pre-historic burnt mound which shows that this place was used by Bronze Age people.

 

Burnt Mounds are the result of heating water using hot stones. The mounds are the result of the debris from this process and are often formed over centuries.
