Log Text: I visited at sunset 24 March and on the next day's sunrise. Some background reading on the area will help the visitor to appreciate the very considerable importance of this stone within the wider environment. I recommend "Inscribed Across the Landscape - The Cursus Enigma" by Roy Loveday.

Willy Howe submitted by DavidRaven on 9th Jun 2003. Part of the 'Great Yorkshire Barrows' group. To say that these have been called by some, 'the ancestors' of the mighty Silbury Hill in
Wiltshire, you'd think a little more would be made of them!
Reckoned to be as old as Duggleby Howe, and a similar size: seven and a half meters high and thirty six and a half meters in diameter.
Attempts at finding its secrets in 1857 and again thirty years later yielded nothing. A pit about nine feet deep was discovered but was bereft of objects or human ...

Log Text: This location (where did that name Weston Camp come from?), is I think a settlement, not a hillfort. My 1:25000 map showed it as a Settlement. Both of these (hill)forts were perhaps "defended enclosures", but this is significantly smaller than the adjacent Llanfilo Camp.
Superb location for views of the Brecon Beacons which surely were of significance to the builders, and of other hillforts in the area.
Battle (Powys)

Battle Standing Stone submitted by Johnny on 3rd Jul 2002. Battle Standing Stone, Powys (SO 006 306):
On private farmland, the stone is marked on maps and is visible from the road near a disused railway bridge 0.8km south-west of Battle.
The Battle stone is a particularly impressive Bronze Age monument: 100m to the south of a tumulus, a stony cairn supports this attractive standing stone which is 3.96m in height.
