I can vouch for sheep being aggressive but I was very interested in your vists to the Talgarth area in general. I have some interest in local history and believe that I have found evidence of a standing stone and possibly the remains of a barrow which has been overlooked by historians. What should I do?

I forgot to say I live in Talgarth.

Hello Geomancer, I've drifted away to other forums and have just popped my head back in to make sure you're all leaving the place tidy.

Some good suggestions so far.

I have an old Breckonshire Archeological bulletin listing all recognised standing stones in Powys, so try and give me a grid ref and i'll tell you if it's on there (i'll have a look through it tonight, it's arranged by Parish, which is on your OS map. if you haven't got one, shame on you).

Brecon Museuem, and the secondhand bookshops in Brecon may have a spare copy, I'll post up the details on monday.

There is a knowledgeable man who works as a Brecon Beacons National Parks Tourist Board Honcho Howard Williams (known inevitably as Howard National Parks). All my original photocopied material came from him.

As you live in Talgarth you have no excuse not to visit the sites I couldn't get to: Tretower, Fish, Llyndynidr, Bwlch, stones etc. there only just down the road and I don't care if it's raining.

Oh, and yes, a sheep once broke the collar bone of my ex mother in law after it knocked her down.
