Littledean Standing Stone
Littledean Standing Stone submitted by Energyman : The gaol is just off the tip to the right, and the Earthworks top clump of trees to the left, on the near horizon (Vote or comment on this photo)
This appears to be a previously unrecorded standing stone in a field beyond Littledean Gaol, Gloucestershire. This stone is very regular in shape with a sloping top of 22 degrees and about 1.4m (4 feet 6 inches) tall. It looks to be made of a red sandstone.

On the horizon, less than 1km to the SE (143 degrees) is Littledean Camp - a scheduled monument (earthworks) at SO 67644 13509.
