Cefn Fforest

Morphology: cefn+fforest
Phonetic: kev-n-forest

The name refers to the fact that the hill was once covered in trees – the name means "wooded ridge". Shown as Cefn-y-fforest on maps of Glamorganshire in 1886, where only a few scattered houses were in this area between the larger settlements of Pengam and Blackwood.
