Since 2004, the Gorsedd - a society of artists in charge of the Eisteddfod pageantry has used fake fibreglass rocks that are more portable. But Tregaron council wanted something permanent to remember the Eisteddfod's visit in summer 2022. So they tracked down stones from all over Ceredigion to build the circle, donated by farmers and others. Photo Credit: Dafydd Wyn Morgan/Cambrian Mountains Initiative
Owen Jones, of Penlanwen Farm, in Llanddewi Brefi, has donated a stone.
"We've donated this stone because back in the early '80s our family donated the centre stone for the Lampeter eisteddfod," he said. "It's important because in our lifetime, we might not see the eisteddfod here again. One thing we haven't got a shortage of is stones."
