A possible stone circle consisting of twelve large serpentine boulders was recorded at Carleon Farm, Ruan Minor, by George Smith in 1980.
The stone circle might have originated in the Early Bronze Age, but it is known that some of the stones were set in place by a JCB. It is now not certain which stones are original or if, in fact, a circle did exist here before the area was cleared of scrub some 10 years earlier (ie in the late 60s/early 1970s). The circle is in good condition and measures 42m north-south and 49m east-west.
The HER concludes: The site needs further investigation.
