The OS map marks three or four barrows on top of Mount Oriel and a transmitter. There is actually a whole forest of aerials up there and two definite barrows and a third possible visible.
The largest is very impressive. It is 3m high and 15m in diameter. There is still some evidence of the ditch that once surrounded it. There is an OS trig point on its summit. Close by there is a very low platform-like mound about 4m across.
This was not a good day for assessing views as it was very hazy, but I imagine they should be quite amazing in good weather.
