Located on a bank of the Afon Marlas, east of Woodfield Road. The circle was used for the 1944 National Eisteddfod which was held in Llandybie during wartime hardship. The village welcomed numerous visitors from many allied countries. The proclamation ceremony and other gorsedd ceremonies were held within the circle. The rectangular central stone is the maen gorsedd (gorsedd stone). The basic meaning of the Welsh word gorsedd is throne. It is used in English for the assembly (of bards) at an eisteddfod.
