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.

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.

Weston Camp submitted by SumDoood on 21st Mar 2017. Taken from the southern edge of the enclosure. Notice 2/d in from the left is Allt yr Esgair, the location of another hillfort.
The lake is Llyn Safaddan / Llyn Langors / Llangorse Lake.

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.
