Drosgl

Situated in the northern Carneddau, this broad, grassy dome offers a quieter alternative to the more jagged peaks nearby. While its profile is gentle, the summit feels immense and remote, crowned by a significant Bronze Age burial cairn. It serves as a high-altitude bridge between the rocky Beras and the main ridge.

• •The name is derived from the Welsh word 'drosgl', meaning 'clumsy' or 'awkward'. In a topographical sense, this refers to the hill's bulky, rounded, and somewhat shapeless appearance compared to the sharper peaks of the range.
• •The summit is home to a notable Bronze Age burial mound, a large stone cairn that indicates this high ground was a site of prehistoric ritual significance long before modern hillwalkers arrived.
• •From this vantage point, hikers earn an exceptional view of the Menai Strait and the Isle of Anglesey to the northwest, providing a sharp contrast to the wild, rocky tors of Bera Mawr immediately to the south.
• •Despite its name translating to 'clumsy', the grassy slopes are remarkably easy underfoot; the only truly awkward element is navigating the featureless plateau when the clouds roll in.
