Dyffryn Stone Circle

Mid Wales

Dyffryn stone circle in the Preseli Mountains is a little known circle that lies quite near to the well known Gors Fawr, although the two are very different in appearance.  The route to Dyffryn stone circle is not marked or signposted, neither is there anything at the actual site to say that this is it.  The circle is made from angular, pillar like needles of stone and have survived in a reasonable condition.  One of the stones is similar in shape to the "chair shaped" stone at Wet Withens in Derbyshire.  If the stone is in it's original state or if it has been broken is not known.  The second pair of pillars are pronouncedly spiky in comparison with the others.  There is also a broken stone, that when it has fallen has broke into three pieces.  Whether this stone is in its natural state or if it has been carved is not known, but the shape if the stone is that of a zig zag or ribbed shape.
