Long Stone (Minchinhampton)
Date Added: 30th May 2011
Site Type: Standing Stones
Country: England (Gloucestershire)
Visited: Yes on 30th May 2011. My rating: Condition 4 Ambience 4 Access 5
Long Stone (Minchinhampton) submitted by TimPrevett on 30th Dec 2009. Sunset 26/12/09 - an unplanned visit to a number of sites in the area.
No maps - just a vague 1970s guidebook - took us a couple hours to locate this having gone from Minchinhampton via Hampton Fields to Tetbury to Avening missing the stone at first by a narrow margin.
Having resigned ourselves to a long barrow this stone was spotted with just a few minutes before the sun went below the horizon.
A very impressive 7 feet tall stone, and make sure to see the smaller stone bisecting the wall ...

Long Stone, Staunton submitted by hamish on 25th Mar 2004. SO559120 Nr Staunton
This Stone stands by the side of the A4136 about 1 mile from Staunton in the direction of Christchurch.It stands proudly amongst the trees and bushes alone of its kind in this area,although there is a Long Stone near Symonds Yat I believe.It is said that if you prick this stone at midnight it bleeds.

Maes Knoll
Date Added: 5th May 2012
Site Type: Hillfort
Country: England (Somerset)
Visited: Yes on 5th May 2012
Maes Knoll submitted by TheCaptain on 29th Apr 2004. Maes Knoll Hillfort, Norton Malreward, North Somerset, ST600660.
The western end of the fort is made across a narrow neck of the ridge of high land, and consists of a massive ditch and bank, known as “The Tump”, which must be 15 metres high from the ditch to the top.
This is a view to the south from the top of the Tump towards Chew Lake and the Mendips.

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.

Norbury Hillfort Barrow

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...
