Dyffryn Mymbyr (stone circle) submitted by Bladup : Dyffryn Mymbyr stone circle, In my opinion person[s] not long ago brought the stones from the bottom of the slope in the background and built a quick stone circle, The stones are just pushed into the mud and are very loose, I think it's very modern.
