The picture from Hugo is titled "Above Porth Wen"  so I don't know if it may be part of the old brickworks or a quarry.

It's part of the old brickworks above Porth Wen and is on the hillside above the works.    Well done Yorkie

Did the numbers give it away?   It should have been a bit harder than that Yorkie.

Hugo.    No, I used my usual method.   I only resort to the numbers when I get really stuck.

Jason - you are 100% correct, it is at Frongoch.  Nice place to stop for a cuppa and to watch some of the happenings.  It is also on the A4212 which is a fantastic road for the car enthusiast, with 18 miles of beautiful curves and only one sharpish bend at the bottom of the lake.    &well&
