Cwm Llwyd Fault

It runs north, parallel to the A4069 road, for over 4 km from near Brynaman to meet the Carreg Cennen Disturbance near Brest Cwm Llwyd.

[1] It moved as a sinistral (left lateral) strike-slip fault during the Variscan Orogeny.

Together with the Llwyn Celyn Fault it formed a left-stepping offset that created a pull apart structure, which preserved the Cwm Llwyd Outlier of Namurian rocks.
