This circle was built in 1951 to commemorate the Eisteddfod in the town that year. It consists of 14 large stones, twelve in the circle and two outliers to the NE at about 6 feet (1.8 metres) high. It is set in parkland beside the River Conwy and was the centre of activity on the Bank Holiday Monday. To reach it you have to cross a single lane bridge and there is a car park further down on the left. The old man in the tea shop said he thought there used to be stones there before the modern one was built but I can’t find any information about this. It is a pleasant place to take a walk along the river.
With thanks to Graham for the information, more with photos on his Megalithic Walks pages.
