Circles of Antiquity - Best preserved in Wales? Gors Fawr & Bedd Arthur

In this video we revisit Gors Fawr, an ancient stone circle considered to be the best preserved in Wales! Then we’ll head up the near by slopes, meet up with the ancient Golden Road... and follow it to Beddarthur, a horseshoe stone circle/monument, claimed to be the final resting place of the legendary King.
Nestled amongst the rolling Preseli hills is the level common named Gors Fawr, meaning Great Marsh, and this is where we find a humble but significant stone circle that takes it’s name from the marshy land on which it sits.
Just over 20 meters in diameter, the 16 stones form a very regular circle, geophysical surveys suggest it probably looked much the same today as it did to its late Neolithic or Bronze Age builders... a remarkable survivor.
Some claim that Gors Fawr is not just the best, but the ONLY intact ancient circle in Wales… but in a country renowned for its standing stones and megalithic monuments, can this really be true? In this video we answer that question and more...

There are at least three in Glamorgan that are sunk in Bogs

Thanks for watching 🙂 Would love to look into them if you know roughly where they may be? We spend a lot of time around Glamorgan.
