Marked on the OS Map as as cairn, Rhos-Y-Beddau or ‘The Moor of Graves’stone circle stands at the top of a steep valley.
According to Burl the stones are on boggy ground and difficult to distinguish.
The remains of an avenue lie to the east-north-east of this ring and a further stone circle may be located 400m to the north at SJ059305.

This is the whole valley of Rhos y Beddau, the stone circle is bottom right (somewhere), Afon Disgynfa cairn is just to the left of the trees by the waterfall. Hope that makes sense.

I can't yet manage Shropshire Traveller's YouTube offerings, but this picture from the top of the falls (Aug 2007) should confirm his suggestion about it being worth taking time to appreciate how magnificently the stones and/or circles were sited!

Along with Shopshire Traveller's and COFLEIN's descriptions, this picture taken in Aug 2006 may help Portal visitors locate the site - but I have to admit I went to see the waterfall, not knowing what other gems were nearby!

Some of the stones at the western arc of the circle; the difficulty in finding this actually impressive combination sites becomes very clear (or does it? ).

A rough plan I did on my visit of the stone rows and circle.
