Pen-y-crug Pen-y-crug Pen-y-crug is a hill in the Brecon Beacons National Park in the county of Powys, south Wales. It is commonly referred to locally as simply 'The Crug' ("pronounced cree-g"). The Welsh name signifies 'top of the mound'. It slopes are moderately gently on three sides; only to the west do they steepen somewhat. Its flat trig point adorned summit at 331m overlooks the valley of the River Usk to the south. To the southeast are panoramic views over Brecon whilst eastwards are the Black Mountains and south the Brecon Beacons. The hill is formed from sandstones and mudstones of
Pen-y-ghent 'Head of the Winds'. It is also possible that "ghent" may have been a tribal name and that the hill may have once been an important tribal centre. It is also acceptable to write the name as "Pen y Ghent" rather than "Pen-y-ghent". In 2004 the body of an unidentified female, dubbed by the media as the "Lady of the Hills", was found near to the entrance of Sell Gill Hole.
