Hi Gladders,
I know I posted on this topic, but I did so without reading your post (number 3 I think). What resonated with me personally were these words of yours, which encapsulate my thoughts perfectly:-

"......But for me Stoney Littleton represents the little Wellow river with trailing water plants floating in the current and a rich wild planting of flowers lining its banks in summer, also the stoniness of the field you walk through as you approach the long barrow, probably evidence of its' creation.

Many of our prehistoric stones, barrows, etc remain in the wild places of the moors and high mountains, the last remaining bits of 'wildness' in this small country, perhaps that is what draws people to seek prehistory out."

Beautifully put.
TE.
