What is recorded here
Roughly 300 metres in height, Erw Y Ddafad-Ddu is part of the geologically diverse landscape of north-west Wales, characterised by ancient Silurian rocks. Its name, meaning "Hill of the Black Mare," hints at local folklore, though specific tales are not widely recorded. It matters as a minor but distinctive landmark within the Gwynedd area's upland topography.
