Triangulation Pillar - The Rivals, Yr Eifl, Trefor, Gwynedd, Wales - European Historic Survey Stones, Monuments and Benchmarks on Waymarking.com

This triangulation pillar is located on the summit of Yr Eifl near the village of Trefor.

Type of trigpoint: triangulation pillar.
Condition: Good
Flush bracket number: S1620

There is a stone shelter next to the pillar, which protects from the wind.

Of interest is the strange metal object inserted into the plug hole. It is shaped like a 4 and has the letters A & H on it.

The views of the peninsula are quite spectacular from the summit. A interesting hillfort, Tre'r Ceiri can be seen on the smaller summit opposite.

There are a number of paths leading up to the summit from Trefor, Llithfaen and Llanaelhaearn. The final part of the path up to the summit it not signposted and is very steep.
