Coming from Careg Sampson at SM 848 335 continue down the lane to Trefin. After passing through the village you will see the circle ahead on high ground overlooking the bay. Parking is best in the small layby on the right as you drive uphill towards the circle. Walk on uphill from here towards a house on the right where there is a stile to the coastal footpath. Go over the stile to reach the site.
The circle has 11 stones which is unusual for an Eisteddfod circle as they generally have 12. It is in a beautiful location overlooking a rocky bay and cliffs.
It is quite authentic looking as modern circles go and is worth a visit if you are in the area. The stones average 1m high and form a circle about 40ft (12m) across.
