From the Wikipedia article
Mynydd y Grug is a hill lying just west of the village of Cwmfelinfach and about 4 km to the northeast of Caerphilly in Caerphilly county borough in South Wales. Its summit was formerly at a height of around 358 m, but since the top has been covered by a large spoil heap and landscaped its height has now increased to 375 m, though some authorities take other values for the summit height. A number of ancient cairns are found along its edge overlooking the Sirhowy Valley, the slopes up from which are largely wooded.

Background
Visiting
The hill is crossed by a number of public footpaths, one of which is a restricted byway linking two cul-de-sac minor roads approaching from Machen to the east and Blackwood to the north. This route is followed by the Rhymney Valley Ridgeway Walk. A part of the plateau is mapped as open access and available for walkers to wander freely.
