Placed just off a public footpath in the village of Upper Cwmtwrch. Cache is placed near to a bunker of sorts that we used to spend our time hanging around when we were kids. Can easily be done within an hour. Good footwear is recommended due to what can be soft/boggy ground and watch out for the brambles as due to lack of visitors it is overgrown somewhat
The name Cwmtwrch (Welsh language: 'Valley of the Wild Boar') derives from the “Twrch Trwyth” a mythical wild boar of King Arthur’s legends and the ancient Welsh folklore tales of the Mabinogion in early Welsh literature. The legend relates to one of Arthur’s tasks: to rid the western Brecon Beacons of the pack of wild boars that were terrorizing the people. Arthur chased the boars from Dyfed eastward towards Powys. On the Black Mountain (range), he picked up a large stone (the carreg fryn fras) and cast it towards the wild animals, striking dead the leader of the pack on the edge of a valley near Craig-Y-Fran Gorge. The big boar's body rolled down the valley and into the river which is now the River Twrch. The big stone is still on the mountain.
Unfortunately I can't find any info on the structure itself but if any cache hunters out there can then please let me know.
