Dragon Site, now known simply as Dragon, was a Deviation construction site north of Spooner's Hollow which it was used to fill. Work started Summer 1969. The sharp bend here is now called Dragon Curve, and is at the top of the spiral, giving the last view of Dduallt Station on the up journey.

One explanation for the name of this site is that the work here digging the formation was very hard going and really dragged on.
