Modern Stone Circle in Flintshire (Sir y Fflint)

Just to the northwest of Porthmadog on the A487 towards Caernarfon we came across another modern stone circle. This is an Eisteddfod circle with twelve stones and inner “altar”.

With thanks to Graham for the information, more with photos on his Megalithic Walks pages.

Hi
Nice photo and great to have the Google Street view too.

I should point out that Porthmadog is in Gwynnedd, not Flintshire, and the 'locator pin' on the OS map section is about 300 mtrs SE of the actual site. Perhaps that's moveable, but I couldn't see how to do it.
Cheers
DM
