Dist:0.7km<br/>This 'ty bach' or little house, as the old-fashioned earth closet at the bottom of the garden was called, was built across a stream in order that the constant flow of water removed the waste (people further down the valley may not have thought it such a good idea).

Dist:0.8km<br/>The building in front of the chapel was originally a school. The bridge spans a small stream between these buildings and the few other houses that make up this tranquil hamlet.

Dist:0.8km<br/>In the early years of the C20 a local firm of stonemasons (D. Jenkins and son, Dinas Cross) seems to have specialised in these attractive carvings which adorn many of the gravestones in the chapel cemetery here. This little girl, a dear daughter, was only 8 when she died.

Dist:0.8km<br/>The tiny hamlet of Glanrhyd has a few houses only, a chapel (right) with its sunny burial ground behind, and a stone bridge across a stream which performs a useful function for this carefully-positioned 'ty bach'/little house.

Dist:0.8km<br/>Calvinistic Methodist, 1870. Beautifully maintained and cared-for: a perfect example of the rural Welsh non-conformist chapel.

Dist:1.2km north<br/>This is a major source of grit and gravel, quarried from a huge glacial moraine left by the icesheet that created the plateau. Lorries are constantly coming and going through the narrow lanes and the sound of the machinery can be heard as a background hum.

Dist:1.2km southwest<br/>The hill on which the Crugiau stand is made from the sand and gravel that was dumped here and there by the retreating ice at the end of the last ice age. It is quarried at various locations nearby for aggregate, notably at Trefigin ([[SN137435]]) and Penyparc ([[SN201484]]). In this view the undulating sandy deposit can be seen stretching northward. Beyond and hidden by the central knoll is the notch of Cwm Trewyddel and Ceibwr.

Dist:1.2km southwest<br/>The series of tumuli can be seen stretching away to the north from the trig point on the southernmost tumulus.

Dist:1.3km north<br/>Unusual walled compartment for two graves, inscriptions illegible. The church is roughly circular, walled and raised in front and steeply sloping toward the back.
