Moel y Cerrig Duon, Mountain summit in Gwynedd, United Kingdom
Moel y Cerrig Duon rises to 625 meters elevation within the Aran Fawddwy range, featuring a grassy summit area with a small cairn and stake marker.
The mountain territory moved from Denbighshire administration to Gwynedd jurisdiction through regional boundary modifications that reorganized North Wales geographical classifications.
The name translates from Welsh as 'bare hill of the black rocks', reflecting the traditional Welsh practice of describing natural landmarks by their physical characteristics.
Multiple hiking trails lead to the summit from different starting points, requiring proper navigation equipment and weather monitoring due to rapid condition changes.
The southwestern summit, Foel y Groes at 582 meters, marks the exact watershed division between three major rivers: the Dee, Severn, and Dyfi.
