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.

Long Stone (Minchinhampton)

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 ...

Leigh Down submitted by h_fenton on 29th Apr 2012. Panoramic view of part of Leigh Down stone circle, the stone placements here are modern although their positions have been identified through dowsing.
