Other information
Legends / stories attached to this monument. Inscriptions. See who has provided other information.
What once dominated the horizon of Gelligaer and Merthyr Common for its grandiose and majestic nature now dominates it because it has a pillar of concrete laid upon it - a triangulation point, just to the right of the picture below (just out of sight).
Carn Bugail has, over the years, become vandalised beyond recognition. Numerous visits have given us: burned out cars, engine parts, tyres, bon fires and the like. What a sorry state
However, it does offer some spectacular views and, on a clear day, Pen-Y-Fan is plain to see. Just below Carn Bugail is a standing stone, Rohi Stone, just off the Roman Road
