Low light is accentuating the low hummocks whose form is partly controlled by the outcrops of slatey rock beneath a veneer of glacial deposits. It is difficult to be specific without detailed investigation, but many of the hummocks are probably drumlins, whose long axis is aligned with the flow of ice within the Conwy Valley.
