The rocky knoll in the centre of the photo is believed to be a possible prehistoric funerary cairn. It is marked on OS Maps from 1880 until 1979 as an archeological feature, and could be translated as "High Throne" which makes some sense as it rises above the rest of the Great Orme limestone plateau.
