Lle mae'r golfen gellir gweld cornel gwersyll ymarfer Rhufeinig ar Fynydd Carn Goch. Mae'r gwersyll yn mesur 87 troedfedd sgwar ac ar bob ochr ohono ceir olion o 'clavicula' sef mynediad amddiffynnol. Mae'r gwersyll yn un o ddau a godwyd ar y comin. Adeiladwyd y gwersylloedd ar ol i'r Rhufeiniaid feddiannu'r ardal oddeutu 75 OC a sefydlu caer barhaeol ryw dair milltir i ffwrdd ar lan Afon Llwchwr a'i alw'n Leucarum. The tree marks one corner of a Roman practice camp located on Mynydd Carn Goch. The practice camp is one of a pair and it measures 87 ft square and on each side it has a defensive entrance called a 'clavicula'. The camps were built sometime after the Romans occupied the area in c75 AD and where a permanent fort named Leucarum was established approximately three miles away on the banks of the Llwchwr River (Loughor).
