Cerrig Pryfaid submitted by stonedowser : This is a good circle, though not easily seen until you are actually standing by it. There are a couple of outliers associated with the circle and what dowses as a cairn also. More pictures and dowsing diagram on web pages. Ian. (Vote or comment on this photo)
This circle of low stones under the slopes of Tal y Fan near Conwy is good to visit, though not easily seen until you are actually standing by it. There are a couple of outliers associated with the circle and a cairn also.

Cerrig Pryfaid submitted by TimPrevett : The Circle of the Flies (other side of dry stone walls) viewed from the north, along the course of the Roman Road. The Roman route can be seen as a linear shelf above the circle, when at the circle. The Roman route is on private land, which I visited with written and verbal permission.

Cerrig Pryfaid submitted by TimPrevett : The northern arc, and outlier, of Cerrig Pryfaid, early morning in late July. The very small stones of a complete and wide circle are hard to capture in one photo, so I decided to only focus on these, waiting for the sun to show through clouds, and was pleased with the result.
