Tair Carn Uchaf
Tair Carn Uchaf (Welsh for "Upper Three Cairns") is a hill in the Brecon Beacons National Park (Parc Cenedlaethol Bannau Brycheiniog) in the county of Carmarthenshire, Wales. Its summit sits atop a plateau-like ridge at above sea level and is marked by one of the three huge cairns which give the mountain its name.
The main ridge leads southwest towards the subsidiary top of Tair Carn Isaf ("Lower Three Cairns", ), which hosts further cairns. The summit of this top lies at , whilst a trig point just to its southwest lies at a height of 459 metres. To the south of the main ridge lies the subsidiary peak of Drysgol which reaches a height of .〔Ordnance Survey Explorer map OL12 'Brecon Beacons National Park: western area'〕
==Geology and drainage==
To the south is Cwm Aman into which flow the streams of Nant Pedol and Nant-y-ffin or Berach whilst the Nant Gwythwch drains westwards into the Afon Llwchwr. Rainwater falling on the hill's northern slopes is likely to spend part of its journey underground on account of the band of Carboniferous Limestone which sweeps across this area from east to west. Northward drainage is ultimately into the Afon Llwchwr and Afon Cennen.
The summit plateau is formed from blocks of the Twrch Sandstone (formerly the 'Basal Grit') of the Marros Group (former 'Millstone Grit Series') deposited during the Carboniferous period. Whilst the general dip of the rock strata is to the south, there are areas which have foundered due to the presence of the soluble limestone not far beneath the surface.〔British Geological Survey 1:50,000 map sheet 230 'Ammanford'〕
