Carnedd y Ddelw

Carnedd y Ddelw reaches an elevation of 686 meters, featuring two large shelter cairns at its peak within the Carneddau mountain range.

The summit contains remnants of a Bronze Age burial cairn, which was later divided to create the current shelter structures visible today.

In the 18th century, a five-inch gold artifact was discovered at the site, leading to local stories about supernatural occurrences following its removal.

The summit provides shelter from strong winds through its cairn structure, making it a suitable rest point for hikers traversing the Carneddau range.

The eastern slopes channel water through the Afon Tafolog, a tributary that flows to the Afon Roe before joining the River Conwy near Rowen.
