Twmpath llosg Graig Fawr / Graig Fawr burnt mound Ychydig y tu hwnt i'r cwrs dwr saif twmpath llosg o'r Oes Efydd.

Pan mewn cysylltiad â dŵr oer byddai llawer o'r cerrig hyn yn chwalu. Mae'r domen yn ganlyniad i groniad dros amser o gerrig wedi'u chwalu a malurion tân fel siarcol.

In the foreground above a small watercourse is a Bronze Age burnt mound. Also known as cooking mounds, when our ancestors cooked meat during this period they would heat stones on a fire before putting them in a trough full of water to boil meat. When in contact with cold water many of the stones would shatter. The mound is a result of an accumulation over time of discarded shattered stones and fire debris such as charcoal. In fact there are two burnt mounds at this location but the one shown is the best example. Other theories are that they were used as a sauna or for brewing beer.
