The summit of Carnedd Llechwedd-llyfn?

Though the actual summit of this 2110' / 643m mountain is virtually impossible to ascertain on this flat plateau, Someone has constructed this small, symbolic cairn.

Two cairns, a boundary post and a trig point. And, temporarily, a bicycle!

Sheepfold on heather moorland

The sheepfold lies on land descending on the eastern slope of Brottos, the southern top of Carnedd y Filiast and was photographed from an estate road higher on the same slope. Craig yr Hafod is the hill in the distance and Llyn Hesgyn the lake.

Upper slopes of Carnedd y Filiast

An estate road approaches Carnedd y Filiast circuitously before nearing the summit from the south only then to veer to the right and avoid it. Mountain walkers who have used the road to climb the hill clearly leave the road and have worn a faint path in the heather as they go directly to the highest point; the photographer did the same.

Cairn and fence on Llechwedd-llyfn

The mountain area crossed by the fence has at least this cairn and perhaps another and is named broadly as Llechwedd-llyfn on OS Landranger maps. At larger scales however this location is named as Carn Llechwedd-llyfn with the shorter name being given to a slightly lower rise to the south-east. The higher, distant mountain is Carnedd y Filiast, lying to the east.
