The summit trig point of Pen-y-crug near Brecon

On a clearer day this spot commands excellent views of the Beacons and is an excellent alternative place to walk to admire the mountains. An Iron Age hillfort was established on the summit and the multivallate ditches and ramparts are well preserved. Ferns obstruct the site in high summer.

sheep grazing near summit of Pen-y-crug

Pen-y-crug is a modest hill, (but a HuMP - a hill with at least 100m. prominence), north-west of Brecon. The sheep are feeding on rough grazing land with gorse bushes nearby and close to the earth ramparts of an Iron Age fort. The distant wooded hill is Moel Fenni Fach, where there's another hill fort though that one is obscured by tree cover.

Pen-y-crug trig point

The triangulation pillar on Pen-y-crug has been augmented with new stonework and some patriotic symbols. The image was captured quite early on the first frosty morning of the year, with sublime views of the Fforest Fawr. There is a very strong resonance in this district between the siting of hill forts and their subsequent use for triangulation points by the Ordnance Survey.

Bracken clearance

A previous submission mentioned a problem with bracken, so it is good to see an effort being made to curtail this menace, or at least to collect and remove the dried foliage. My Geograph assistants certainly appreciate the work that has been done.

Drifted snow beside a lane

This lane is a bridleway just to the north of Brecon. Last week's heavy snowfall is still very evident here with snow lying where it was blown and drifted.
