Brookite from this location was originally referred to as being from "near Snowdon" by Sowerby (1809), but this was later confirmed by Sowerby (1838) to be Prenteg. Also incorrectly called "Fonolen" by Greg and Lettsom (1858) and elsewhere described as "8 miles from Snowdon, between Beddgelert and Tremadoc".
