General view northeast across the circle. The distant mountains in the centre are Radnor Forest, there's a ton of remote archaeology on the hills in between.

Not an obvious circle, but a good location... as they say.	Posted by GLADMAN 9th April 2024ce
This brings back memories. If I remember right the circle stones were all eroding rapidly, due to their laminations splitting. It was quite difficult to find most of them because they had already disappeared down to ground level. This was the situation in 2010; https://www.megalithic.co.uk/modules.php?op=modload&name=a312&file=index&do=showpic&pid=54303	Posted by cerrig 10th April 2024ce
Yeah, thanks for calling it out back then. 'Minimalist', is probably the apt term.	Posted by GLADMAN 10th April 2024ce
A return visit is probably overdue.	Posted by cerrig 11th April 2024ce
I really enjoyed visiting it, despite the poor state of the stones. The panorama is quite something. Nice hills, these, and new to me. I would have liked to stop longer than the half an hour I could spare, but it was a long old walk from Boughrood to Builth, with an unmissable bus to catch at the end!

It is quite a view, and curiously, it is intervisible with Bwlch y cerrig duon barrow, in the upper Tawe valley. https://www.megalithic.co.uk/modules.php?op=modload&name=Forum&file=viewtopic&topic=9233&forum=4	Posted by cerrig 15th April 2024ce
