Height
There is a trig point (triangulation pillar TP2074) recording a height of 419 m (1375 ft) at location SH7641664273. This can be easily viewed from Ffordd Cowlyd, the lane from Trefriw to Llyn Cowlyd, which crosses Cefn Cyfarwydd towards its northern end.
The trig point is, however, not at the highest point of the ridge. The highest point actually lies some mile to the south-west, where a cairn has been placed at a height of 503 m (1650 ft). This is just a little north of the remains of Lledwigan burial cairn, which probably dates to the Bronze Age.

Famous quotes containing the word height:
“It’s the height of folly to want to be the only wise one.”

“To say more than human things with human voice,
That cannot be; to say human things with more
Than human voice, that, also, cannot be;
To speak humanly from the height or from the depth
Of human things, that is acutest speech.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
