To the northeast of the carpark there is a small mound in a field which was excavated but contained no evidence of burials and is believed to have been a “marker” cairn on the edge of the site on high ground.
Llyn Brenig is beside the Clocaenog Forest where there are more sites.
The site at Brenig had been in use by man for a long time before the Bronze Age as evidence was found of the existence of a Mesolithic camp near the ring cairn where firepits have been dated back to 5700BC.

Llyn Brenig is a reservoir located in North Wales, in the heart of the Denbigh moors, on the border between the counties of Conwy and Denbighshire.
Whilst it is not the largest lake in Wales in terms of volume (that title belongs to Bala Lake/ Llyn Tegid), it is the largest in terms of area covered, around 920 acres.
Llyn Brenig is therefore only used during drought conditions when the capacity of Llyn Celyn and Llyn Tegid are no longer predicted to be capable of maintaining the flow in the river Dee.
