View NW from Cefn y Coed near White Hall Farm The NW corner of this grid square is in the woodland below. Beyond in the middle distance, right of centre is Henfron in <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/gridref/SO1896">SO1896</a> about 3km away, seen here <a title="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2866026" href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2866026">Link</a> from Llandyssil bridge. The mound crowned with two oaks in that other shot is also visible in this photo, down to the left. I'm not sure what that structure is in the foreground - more investigation required as it hasn't made it to the maps yet.
