Summary[edit]

Description
Cymraeg: Bwlch y Ddeufaen, Sir Conwy. Saif ychydig i'r gorllewin o Rowen yn sir Conwy. Roedd y bwlch yma o bwysigrwydd mawr hyd yn oed cyn dyfodiad y Rhufeiniaid, oherwydd mai trwy'r bwlch yma yr oedd yr hen ffordd tua'r gorllewin yn arwain, yn hytrach nag ar hyd yr arfordir lle roedd aber Afon Conwy a chreigiau'r Penmaenmawr a Phenmaen Bach yn rhwystrau. Daw'r enw o ddau faen hir wedi eu gosod bob ochr i'r ffordd, un 3 medr o uchder a'r llall 2 m.
English: Bwlch y Ddeufaen, Sir Conwy (County), Wales.

A mountain pass in Conwy county borough, Wales, traversable only on foot or horseback, following the former Celtic (then Roman) road from Caerhun (Canovium) to Caernarfon (Segontium). The route lies between the peaks of Tal y Fan and Drum, in the Carneddau range in north Snowdonia.

The Two Stones are large pre-historic monoliths of unknown date, which mark the summit at about 1,400 feet (430 m). The south-eastern stone measures 3m in height, the smaller north-western stone is 2m high. Also, near the mountain gate, on the south side of the track, is a stone circle and a cromlech called Maen-y-bardd (the bard's stone) nearer Rowen.
