Tre Gwynt

'Wind Town' seems an appropriate name for this isolated and long-abandoned farm building.

The summit of Disgwylfa

There are two rocky lumps which could argue for the actual highest point of Disgwylfa. But once you've stood on each of them a couple of times, this one wins the day. A lovely remote hill which is littered with such pinnacles. That's the Arans in the distant background.

Gardden Iron Age Hillfort

This is the feature that is marked as a ring on your OS Maps and labelled as antiquity, Settlement. Gardden Hillfort above Llanerfyl. I recommend Link

Tre Gwynt

The derelict Tre Gwynt. Presumably at one time a farmstead. Now there are sheep shearing sheds here and this rancid shelter. Trashed inside, presumably by the sheep which have got in at some point - and also died there, but also by the weather. Four bunk beds stacked in one corner and a mangled table. Signs of past habitation in gas heater and candles in bottles. Probably connected to shooting fraternity as there were a couple of ancient decoy geese on the top bunk. I think if I stumbled across this place in a white-out blizzard, I might still press on. I did spent 15 minutes here rescuing an enormous bumble bee though.
