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.
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;

Yeah, thanks for calling it out back then. 'Minimalist', is probably the apt term.
A return visit is probably overdue.
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.
