Ysbyty Cynfyn Stone Circle submitted by Johnny on 10th Oct 2001. Ysbyty Cynfyn "Stone Circle" (SN 752 791)

Llanrhaeadr ym Mochnant (Standing Stone)
Date Added: 18th Apr 2011
Site Type: Standing Stone (Menhir)
Country: Wales (Powys)
Visited: Yes on 12th Jul 2009
Llanrhaeadr ym Mochnant (Standing Stone) submitted by TimPrevett on 4th Jan 2006. The large re-used Bronze Age standing stone next to the road in the village. Once it was one of several stones here; now it's the only standing stone in the village.
If the archaeological database is interpreted correctly, the schoolhouse behind had a mound where the stone was formerly situated - before the school house was constructed.
Parking around the bend as seen, ideal for visiting the village.

Xaghra Circle
Date Added: 18th Apr 2011
Site Type: Stone Circle
Country: Malta (Gozo)
Visited: Yes on 24th Apr 2005
Xaghra Circle submitted by enkidu41 on 5th May 2004. Also known as Brochtorff's Circle. The actual circle is about 120' in diameter. Only about 85' of the circumference still stands and is obscured by by soil pile up and thick vegetation. The rest of the circle is outlined by a modern wall. The feature shown here is the central excavation in which Herr Brochtorff supposedly found other megaliths including an altar-like structure. The remains are thought to be of a temple smaller than but similar to the nearby Ggantija temple.
