Gorsedd Stone Circles are constructed for the National Eisteddfod and form a key part of ceremonies held during the festival. The Stone Circle in the parkland was erected in 1987 to proclaim that the Eisteddfod was to be held at Tredegar House the following year. The 12 stones which form the circle represent the 12 old counties of Wales. The tallest stone is 1.5m high, and the central plinth (the Logan Stone) is used by the Archdruid to proclaim the festival. The circle is then used throughout the week for ceremonial dances and the inauguration of new members of the Druid Circle.
