SH8374 : Rocky knoll

taken 8 years ago, near to Bryn-y-Maen, Conwy, Wales

Rocky knoll
Rocky knoll
Pasture below Ffrith Wen surrounds a couple of rocky knolls, beyond which the ground drops steeply to Tynllwyn. The rock outcrops are mudstones of the Elwy Formation (Silurian). Elsewhere the ground is mantled by glacial deposits, and it is a matter of interest that a large glacial erratic boulder has been dragged from the field to an out-of-the-way spot where rock has been quarried for local purposes.
