One of the circle stones on the North East is another small slab type stone, about 1 foot tall, aligned on the centre stone and also on a peak to the South. On this peak , unsited from the circle, are the cairns of Gamriw. Along this line in the valley beyond is the stone row of Saith Maen(Rhayader)
About 50 meters to the North West is a leaning standing stone, about 3 feet tall. Noticeably triangular in section. If stood up straight the flat sides would point to various monuments; namely the circle, Drygarn Fawr cairns, and another very large recumbent to the South East.
It should be noted that the official grid references for this circle are hundreds of meters out at best, and the only way i found it was by matching a photo to the surroundings. The grid reference given here is off my GPS. The circle is easily missed, as reeds cover the taller stones.
