View SE of Cerrig Pryfaid Bronze Age stone circle, Bwlch y Ddeufaen, North Wales, with two outlying stones to the NW (foreground centre & R). Around a dozen knee-high stones form a 23m diameter circle, or an ellipse aligned ESE-WNW to the taller outlying stone & the May Day sunset. Electricity pylons, a pipeline, a Roman road & a prehistoric route all use the Bwlch y Ddeufaen pass through the mountains from the coast into the Vale of Conwy. Rounded profile of Pen y Gaer hillfort visible rear centre R.
