Turn off the A46 to Kingswood and take the third turning to the left to Upper Cheyney. Follow this road to a fork and take a left to Coldharbour Farm. Ask at the farm for permission to go into the field and mind the cows. Well worth a visit.
From 4clydesdale7: A burial chamber lying in pasture NE of Coldharbour Farm off Oldbury Lane in the Village of Wick NE of Bristol. In all 5 stones once part of a Long Barrow can be seen set peacefully in S. Glos. Two stones are upright and stand almost 2m tall. A third of similar size lies prostrate together with more two fragments within the group. Mentioned in Bris. & Glos. Arch. Society Transactions 1960 Vol 79 and on the Pastscape website 204955.
