Stone Circle in Denbighshire (Sir Ddinbych)

Bryn Beddau South (cairn) is a flat ring of stones, just to the north of a linear break in the trees, which may be mistakenly interpreted as a track on some maps. The stones are in a clearing with bilberry covering most of it. Observations as of August 2022. Best approached by going through two wooden fences, slightly separated, which act as an entrance.

Bryn Beddau South submitted by TimPrevett : This is the way to Bryn Beddau South, and the North site is not far at all. At a crossroads, these two fences are staggered allowing access between them, with a path leading on. At the end of the path and to the right in the clearing, is the Bryn Beddau South site. For the North, stay on the gravel track, head north (turn right) and it will be not far along on the left (west) side of the... (Vote or comment on this photo)

Re: Bryn Beddau - Two sites? Bit of help identifying and locating by TimPrevett on Sunday, 21 August 2022
(User Info | Send a Message)
This is one to puzzle over, but I think the answer is this:

There are two sites here; Bladup shows one with erect small stones, another with stones laid flat.

The one with small erect stones, 9 years after Bladup’s
Photos, is becoming heavily overgrown, bilberry, fern, fireweed encroaching and smothering in peak season.

The one in the clearing with stones laid flat is clearly identifiable, even from What3Words aerial shot.

I’ll add photos and a video will go on my YouTube channel in the next couple weeks.

Searching for Bryn Beddau and Bedd Emlyn sites. Didn’t find the one pictured on the megalithic portal, but did find two others in dense undergrowth or off the main track in the forest. Very early spring visit and lots of cross referencing for another time!

    There are a few stones right next to a track, but overgrown; I think this is the one Bladup shows with small erect stones, but I couldn’t see those for the undergrowth. Another small clear ring is in a clearing, best accessed down a path heading off at 45 degrees NW from a main forest track intersection.

I was looking at Google earth at SJ0695 53923, which is maybe 1 mile ENE of Bryn Beddau, just south of a farm called Fron. Is that a barrow one can see?
