When our ancestors cooked meat during this period they would heat stones in 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. Other theories are that they were used as a sauna or for brewing beer.

Confluence of Sawdde Fechan and Ceulan The Ceulan is the smaller stream joining from the right of shot. The Sawdde Fechan runs in from the left and out at the bottom. Downstream from here the river flows north through a pleasant wooded section, the last members of which are visible in this shot before the land opens out in the distance.

Improvised footbridge on Sawdde Fechan An old "I"-beam has been laid as a precarious footbridge over the river at this point. Then someone has thought better of it and blocked it off.

Afon Ceulan Taken while crossing the Ceulan from east to west and looking upstream to the south. This whole area is large gentle slope down to the north. Most of the expanse is corrugated gently from runoff but here a deep river gully has formed due to the large, obvious bowl formed in the mountain in the distance.
