From the viewpoint you can look down the beautiful valley with steep rugged sides to Tregaron.
The Cwm Berwyn Plantation, part of the Twyi Forest, now straddles the trans-mountain route-way known as the Abergwesyn Mountain Road that provides communication between Tregaron and lands to the west, with the upper Tywi valley and the east. This was an important line of communication in the past but is now used mainly by tourists.
Apart from the extreme southern tip, which was partially enclosed prior to forestation in the 1960's by the Forestry Commission, the whole of this historic landscape area was unenclosed upland moorland.
Recorded archaeology in this area is rich and varied. Mostly it consists of abandoned cottages and farmsteads of post-Medieval date and other agricultural pre-forestation features such as boundary markers. There are also three Bronze Age round barrows, a Bronze Age standing stone, two possible stones of the same date and a Roman marching camp.
We would like to thank the Forestry Commission for giving us permission to place these caches here.
