From the Wikipedia article

Craig Gwaun Taf, also known as Duwynt, is a mountain in the Brecon Beacons with a height of 826.4 m (2,711 ft). It is within the wider Brecon Beacons National Park in Powys, Wales. The mountain takes the form of a long ridge which runs north-west to south-east and falls away steeply to the north-east. The summit is at the north-west end of the ridge and marked by a small cairn; the ridge then turns north and drops into a very shallow col called Bwlch Duwynt before climbing to the adjacent peak of Corn Du.
