Cerrig Cynant Stone Circle View all content for Cerrig Cynant

After having just been to Bryn Poeth Uchaf ring cairn and been partly blown away by the site and the views, we headed optimistically in a north north west kind of direction. Running across our path was a linear earthwork, an old wall or dyke or something, anyway, from on top of it I saw a stone, a standing up one. This is it, I knew this was it, a kind of euphoria spread through me, having failed to find it last time I came, by what I could now see was a mere couple of hundred yards. Drat. We set about uncovering all the stones, a big one lay on it's side on the eastern side, the tall pointy one I'd seen on the dyke was at the south end, smaller stones had to have grass pulled away to recover them. The ring is perhaps two thirds complete, Alken counted ten stones I think. On it's northern arc it seems to have gone completely unless that is where the smallest stone are, and are now all underground. Tony, go and get your mates, oh yes, how sad. The views were more set back into the immediate landscape, so although the view south was long it didn't have the impact as from the first ring cairn. One more ring cairn to find, north west of Cerrig Cynant stone circle.
