A combination of bog and forest
In earlier centuries this 'waen' was treated with a degree of circumspection being avoided alike by settlement and lines of communication. It was only in the nineteenth century with the great increase in population in the wake of growth of the slate industry that its edges were enclosed to create farms and small-holdings. But even then, no through road was built across the Waen.
