Blink, and you'll miss 'em. Four stones are all that remain of this once proud circle, judging by the survivors. They are in a field not far from Bryn Derwydd farmhouse, so I wouldn't advise brazen trespassing.

They look quite pretty, nonetheless, and by balancing on rocks at the side of the drystone wall bounding the field, it is possible to have a good look at them as they sit in a graceful curving line.

Especially intriguing is their position in relationship to Cefn Maen Amor circle, which can been seen on the summit of Cefn Maen Amor mountain directly behind them on the eastern horizon . . .

Further along, there is a huge standing stone right outside the farmhouse, the Bryn Derwydd Standing Stone. It's an impressive erection, and like the remains of Red Farm, looks towards Cefn Maen Amor.

On the track leading to the Druid's Circle the remains of this circle comprise of four low stones. The field is very close to the farm and is private. It's best to peer over the wall, have a look and then carry on - there's not much to see. Directly opposite the farmhouse, in the field next to the circle is a large 'playing-card' stone which is worthy of attention and isn't at all out of the way. IronMan Posted by IronMan
