Gattle's Cross
Gattle's Cross submitted by 4clydesdale7 : The Boundary Marker from the NE (Vote or comment on this photo)
First recorded in AD 1282 as a Boundary Marker the current stone replaced an earlier stone in the 18th century - local folklore gives us two little gems of information about this little known site in West Dean parish

The original Stone may have commemorated an ancient burial AND it is reputedly haunted by the ghost of a Forest of Dean miner dressed in black

The Stone lies 20m east of the Coleford to St Briavels B4228 south of the football field at Clearwell Meend - quite easy to find
