The fictional school featured in the episode is even called Coed y Carreg! (Wood of the Circle).
The stone circle looks fake as the edges on the stones look too sharp. I've put as a grid reference the location of the Wales Millenium Centre as it seemed most appropriate, but there is of course no stone circle there, just a time rift!
