It is the highest summit of a range which stretches eastwards from near the village of Carrog to the Horseshoe Pass traversed by the A542 road, and reaches an elevation of 1,893 ft above sea level. The western part of the range is known as Llantysilio Mountain whilst the eastern end is referred to as Maesyrchen Mountain.[1] At its top is a round cairn, of unknown date, measuring about 100 ft in diameter and six feet high.[2] It is in the Clwydian Range and Dee Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
