This months Druidon show Julian at Clent. The four stones are an 18th century folly. They may have been put there in reference to Wychbury Iron Age Hillfort, which Julian would have seen from the stones. The encampment is now covered in trees and has an 18th century Obilesk by the side of it.

I think the stones were put there by one of the Lyttleton's (Viscount Cobham) in memory of his wife, but sometimes these apparent "follies" have a deeper underlying meaning. Maybe he was concretizing something he had picked up psychically in the land that had pre-existed at another time...?
