The Moel Ty Uchaf Kerb Circle is situated on the western edge of the Berwyn Mountains on a hill with spectacular views overlooking Llandrillo and Afon Dyfrdwy.
The closely set stones, all less than 1 metre in height, form a 12 metres diameter circle with possible entrances to the east and south east. The grass covered remains of a stone cairn with excavation / robber pit lies within the circle.
The circle is not alone. Several other cairns including a quartz edged platform cairn lie down the hill to the south of the circle and a possible 'ceremonial approach' lies on the other side of the hill on the northern slope.
The circle sits above a Bronze Age trackway which continues eastwards across the Berwyn Mountains via Bwlch Maen Gwynedd to the Tanat Valley.
A beautiful ancient site with very high picnic potential.
