Bryn y Gorlan
Bryn y Gorlan submitted by cerrig : Bryn y Gorlan circle, from the north. These stones are the only ones visible now, the grass has swallowed the other 6. Just over the skyline is Cefn Gwernffwrd complex, with it's own circle and associated monuments. There are other monuments close to this circle , but the grass has claimed them too.

Bryn y Gorlan
Bryn y Gorlan submitted by Bladup : Coflein says - Stone Setting - 'A discontinuous ring of upright, or leaning slabs, defining an irregular area, c.1.5m across; a low mound on the E is thought to be a spoil heap from a robbing episode', It's found a few yards SW of the broken standing stone.

Bryn y Gorlan submitted by Bladup : Coflein says "A fallen monolith, broken at its base, thought to have originally been some 1.8m high by 1.5m by 0.3m; set c.90m SE of stone circle", You can just see the stones of the stone circle in the background.
