Thank-you for letting us know Dimitri, I've found it!

Look above the bus shelter, directly behind two people sitting on a bench.

Quite often, the Gorsedd erect modern circles, it could be one of theirs.

Hello,
I have noticed that there are standing stones in Gorseinon that are not marked on the map. They are near the bus station in a small park area with trees in a circle around them.
Regards
