Fields next to Afon Elwy

There appears to have been significant dredging on the nearside bank of the river - or perhaps preparation for flood defences? The fence shown on the map, crossing the field in front of the camera, is no longer there. It appears that the road is built on top of the ancient river bank and the fields are the alluvial plain.
