Cwrt-y-Gollen submitted by thecaptain on 6th May 2004. Cwrt-y-Gollen, Standing Stone in Powys, SO232168
This magnificent standing stone lives beside the busy A40 just inside the entrance to the Welsh Brigade army camp just to the south of Crickhowell. Over 4 metres high, “The Growing Stone” looks most impressive, and has a pleasant grass and trees area around it.

Log Text: Zoom in using Bing’s aerial view and you will see, close to the big stone, a big enough boggy hole in the ground to the North, and one at 1 o’clock, and another at 2 o’clock. I’ll dare to suggest that they might indicate where the missing three stones once stood.
Interesting too is the track immediately on the west side of the Great Stone. To the south it becomes one track which seems to continue on across Aikengill Road, then swing west to join that same road c. 200m away, and to swing east then south to continue generally towards the farm known as Sea View on Ringstones Lane (and there’s a name to ponder on!). North of the Great Stone the “dual carriageway” of tracks spreads like fingers through the boggy ground, but the walker here will find that generally the path curves towards Fourstones Barn and continues north-ish from there. It seems quite possible that the track(s) described in this paragraph were the forerunners of the modern Slaidburn Road.

Site Type: Henge

Balfarg Henge submitted by cosmic on 4th Dec 2003. Balfarg is a henge which was excavated when a housing estate was built round it in the 1970's. There are only two standing stones but post holes found inside the henge have been marked with a set of wooden posts.
Surprisingly only one part of the henge ditch seems to have been subject to vandalism (by bikes?)
