Except that, in relation to nature, 'glas' is likely to be better translated as

The Ordnance Survey map for 1888 shows Fach Goch, or Fach-Goch, as a
farm. The same map also shows a Graig Fach-Goch (Fach-goch Rock)
above the farm.
The coordinates at Old-Maps (
http://www.old-maps.co.uk/maps.html) are:
260778 and 301556
The people who settled the area clearly liked the colours red and
blue - there area Dol Goch and Bryn Glas in the vicinity!
