Pool on Gwaunceste Hill

A named place photographed at this map point in Powys.

Roughly 250–300 metres in height, Pool on Gwaunceste Hill is a modest upland feature in the Welsh Marches, likely composed of Carboniferous limestone or similar Paleozoic rock formations common to the region. Its name may derive from early Welsh or Old English, reflecting historical settlement patterns, though specific folklore is not widely recorded. It matters as a subtle but identifiable landmark in the often-fragmented historical geography of Powys.
