Moel y Cerrig Duon is a subsidiary summit of Esgeiriau Gwynion in north east Wales.
Moel y Cerrig Duon tops the eastern end of a long peat pog plateau along with Llechwedd Du. Its summit has a conicol shape, rising suddenly from the bog. The summit itself is grassy, marked by a smll cairn and a stake. To the north-east is Foel y Geifr, to the east Cyrniau Nod and to the west is Llechwedd Du, Esgeiriau Gwynion and Aran Fawddwy.
The Aran range continues south from Moel y Cerrig Duon forming a large area of high moorland to the west of Lake Vyrnwy, crowned by Mynydd Coch. To the north it continues to Foel y Geifr, the eastern outpost of the Aran Fawddwy range.[1]
