Speaking as a fluent Welsh speaker and a person with an avid interest in everything Megalithic I can confirm that the most usual term for stone circle in Welsh is 'Cylch Cerrig'.

Both Maen and Cerig mean stone but would be used in different contexts.

Hope that answers your question :-)

Hi Caealun,

It's useful to have a Welsh speaker on the board. My grasp of the language is rather poor.

I'm interested in this. Could you elaborate?
