This photo was submitted to the Portal by Ken Mumford in the hope that we could identify it. As Ken wrote: "I have been going through some old 35mm slides. Attached is one I took when taking secondary school pupils from my Swindon school on a holiday to South Wales. I'm not sure of the exact date but I would say it is between 1979 and 1986."
There is nothing shown on the current OS Maps or COFLEIN, but a bit of non-archaeological 'digging' identified the photo as being pretty similar to others located on the internet of the Treorchy Gorsedd Circle.
The circle may well have been moved - hopefully someone living locally will be able to confirm this. We initially thought it simply didn't exist any longer, but Google Street View showed us we were wrong - it is in the centre of a small housing development called 'Druids Close'!!!
Note: A new site marked on our map with fascinating 'before and after' photos
