Templebryan is also known as the Druid's Temple, a multi-stone Irish recumbent circle, time has not been kind here. Today only four circle stones still stand with another fallen at the NW, a small quartz boulder stands near the circle centre. The original stone count is unknown, but an account of 1743 mentioned nine stones standing at that time. The remaining stones are all tall with flat tops, the recumbent at the SSW has a particularly flat top and a peculiar squat, "tubby" appearance. Of the portals, only the eastern stone has survived, these stones seem to have been placed tangentially to the circle.
