This is one of three concrete blocks to be found in the area around Llyn Ogwen which were used during WWII as mountings for Lewis Guns.
This one is at a slightly lower level than the other two.
The mountings would have given those using the Lewis Guns a commanding view down the Nant Ffrancon valley.
