Summary

Description
Cymraeg: Y Gop (Bryn y Saethau), trelawnyd, Bryniau Clwyd, Sir Ddinbych.

Bryn a safle archaeolegol yn Sir y Fflint yw Y Gop, sy'n dod o'r gair "copa". Fe'i lleolir yng ngogledd-orllewin y sir fymryn i'r gogledd o bentref Trelawnyd, Sir Ddinbych a gellir ei ystyried fel un o gopaon gogleddol Bryniau Clwyd, er ei fod fymryn i'r dwyrain o'r brif gadwyn. Dyma ail siambr gladdu fwyaf gwledydd Prydain - ar ôl Silbury Hill ger Avebury ac mae'n perthyn i Oes Newydd y Cerrig.

Cofeb neolithig sy'n gorwedd o fewn Bryniau Clwyd, i'r gogledd-orllewin o Drelawnyd, yn Sir y Fflint, Cymru. AHNE Bryniau Clwyd.

Dyma'r twmpath Celtaidd, neolithig ail-fwyaf ym Mhrydain ar ôl Silbury Hill, yn Wiltshire. Mae cloddiadau wedi darganfod olion cynhanesyddol yn yr ogofâu islaw ac yn y twmpath ei hun. Gorwedd y twmpath ar ben Gop Hill (823 troedfedd), brigiad calchfaen naturiol, ac ar ei ochr mae Ogofâu Gop.

Mae Ogof y Gop yn y blaendir wedi cynhyrchu sgerbydau dynol, fflintiau cynhanesyddol a chrochenwaith.
English: A neolithic monument lying within Bryniau Clwyd (the Clwydian Range), northwest of Trelawnyd, in Flintshire, Wales. Bryniau Clwyd AONB.

It is the second-largest Celtic, neolithic mound in Britain after Silbury Hill, in Wiltshire. Excavations have discovered prehistoric remains both in the caves below and in the mound itself. The mound lies on top of Gop Hill (823 feet), a natural limestone outcrop, in the side of which are the Gop Caves.

The Gop Cave in the foreground has produced human skeletons, prehistoric flints and pottery.
