"Listening to Them" Druids Circle, Penmaenmawr

Meini Hirion, (meaning long stones) is known in English as Druid's Circle, is a prehistoric stone circle on the hilltop above Penmaenmawr, North Wales. The mountain of Tal-y-Fan can be seen in the background. However the circle has nothing to do with Druidism as excavations of 1958-59 confirmed that it belonged to the early part of the bronze age, about 1450-1400 B.C., and that's 1000 years before the druids came to this part of Britain with the Iron Age invaders.
