Gwynedd, North Wales
 |
| One of the many
mysterious pools or lakes which have been associated with Arthur
and his heroes. |
This still pool of water reflects
the shape of nearby Dinas Emrys and it is said to have been the site
of a long-ago battle between Owein, one of Arthur's greatest warriors,
and a giant. Here, also, in a secret place, the usurper-king Vortigern
is supposed to have hidden the throne of Britain beneath a great stone.
This may be in part a memory of Merlin's treasure, which is apparently
buried beneath the nearby hill.
