Crug Hywel (called the Table Mountain in English) is a flat-topped hill at the southern edge of the Black Mountains in south-east Wales.
It rises to 451 m above sea level, from the southern flank of Pen Cerrig-calch (701 m), and overlooks the town of Crickhowell [1], to which it gives its name.
The summit of the hill is entirely taken up by an Iron Age hill fort [2], with a clearly visible earth and stone ditch and rampart [3] & [4].
