Not named on Ordnance Survey walking maps, this 727 m summit, also called Plynlimon East Top, is the third highest on the Plynlimon massif and a subsidiary summit of Pumlumon Fawr, 1.0 km away. A cairn marks its boggy top. The River Wye has its source just south of the summit, and the glacial lake of Llyn Llygad Rheidiol lies to the north.
