A group of stones beside a public footpath at the top of a field below Aldwick Wood, Bredon. They are not an outcrop; they are earthfast; they lie apparently scattered not heaped so unlikely to be field clearance; the pattern of them in the field does not suggest either that they have been placed deliberately nor that they are the remains of a building of other structure . The lack of any other stones in the neighbourhood makes it unlikely that they have merely rolled down the hill. So something of an enigma. There is apparently some feeling locally that they may be of archaeological significance which is why I decided to upload the photos.
