Gilwern Hill, Summit and hill in Powys, United Kingdom
The 440.6-meter summit features an embedded rock located 5 meters east of the triangulation point, positioned atop a distinct tumulus formation.
Palaeontologists discovered numerous trilobite fossils at the limestone quarry, including specimens of Meadowtownella, Bettonolithus, Protolloydolithus, and Anebolithus species.
Two prehistoric stone rows stand at the southern section of the hill, with each arrangement containing a stone measuring over 2 meters in height.
Visitors require Landranger Map 147 or Explorer Map 200E for navigation, while the summit connects to trails leading toward Great Rhos peak.
The hill contains lower and middle Ordovician volcaniclastic rocks within the Builth Inlier, forming a significant geological research site.
