Stone Circle in Powys. A 19m diameter circle of small stones with many gaps suggesting some stones may be buried beneath the peat. The stones are very close together indicating that this may be the remains of a kerb-cairn although there is no sign of an internal mound. A number of small cairns are in the immediate vicinity.
