Oldfield Wood

Site Type: Chambered Tomb
Country: England (Gloucestershire)
Visited: Yes on 2nd Jun 2011
Oldfield Wood submitted by 4clydesdale7 on 2nd Jun 2011. One pile of stones almost certainly from the site which is just 30m up the field to the left of shot - beyond that is the farm track approach. This passes Rugger's Green Barn famous for flints - RGB is down shot from camera three fields away towards Nailsworth

Old Sodbury submitted by Thorgrim on 18th Oct 2003. The internal banks and ditches are rectangular with rounded corners, very like the layout of Roman forts. This suggests that a Roman fort has been added to an earlier one.

Norbury Hillfort Barrow submitted by Mr_Nakajima on 3rd Dec 2006. On a trip to the Cotswolds to look at barrows in November 2006 I decided to visit some of the lesser-known ones.
This barrow sits just off a minor road in a field just to the north of a line of trees. In this picture, taken from the road looking south, the mound can just be seen as it is in shadow from the trees, the rest of the field being in sunlight. I estimate it is no more than half a meter high.
The minor road this barrow lies by is narrow but there are plenty of farm gates or passin...

Nan Tow's Tump submitted by Thorgrim on 11th Nov 2003. One of the largest round barrows in Gloucestershire. Nan Tow was a local witch who was buried standing upright in the barrow. It is very dramatic and easy to see from the A46, but there is no convenient place to leave the car. Best bet is to drive down the narrow lane opposite, park where you can and walk back.
