Mohel, the person performing the Jewish ritual of circumcision
Moel Siabod | Moel y Gaer, Llanbedr | Moel y Gaer, Bodfari |
Mell Fell is found in the earlier form Melfel (1279) and is probably derived from the Brittonic (Cumbric) word mel (c.f. Welsh moel), a bare hill, with Fell as a later addition.
Saint Mel or Moel was a 5th-century saint who was the son of Conis or Chonis and Darerca.
The Beacons Way ascends Cefn Moel from Bwlch before dropping into the cwm en route for the hamlet of Cwmdu in the Rhiangoll valley to the east.

The broad spur of Cefn Moel extends south towards the village of Bwlch whilst a spur to the southeast forms Pen Tir which reaches just over 450m above sea level.
