Log Text: Does this tie in with similar stones, the TW Stones, at King's Woods Congresbury in North Somerset? Same height and shape.

Log Text: The site has been ravaged by the plough over many years - it is in a magnificent position - Oliver's Castle; the Wansdyke; Civil War Battle Field (Roundway Down 1643); loads of other barrows Long, Round, Bowl (single and in groups); Cross Dykes - lots to investigate in the area - superb views over the North Wessex Downs

Log Text: These Cross Dykes are quite interesting - particularly figuring out why they were positioned where they are now found - where does this one protect - probably from attack from up the small combe to the West but where in the East?

Log Text: Unusually an oval Round Barrow - it is more likely to be Iron Age than Roman - another RB just 50m to S leads to the notion it is earlier - they often went in pairs - the Roman burial could be an intrusion - did Witts suspect this but having made a mistake with another barrow locally fail to appreciate the logic - trying to play 'safe' - Playne thought it was more likely to be Iron Age
Horton Camp
Date Added: 24th Aug 2011
Site Type: Hillfort
Country: England (Gloucestershire)
Visited: Yes on 24th Aug 2011. My rating: Condition 3 Ambience 4 Access 4
Horton Camp submitted by TheCaptain on 29th Mar 2004. Horton Camp Hillfort, South Gloucestershire, ST765845, March 2004.
View looking northwest along the remaining bank across the top of the hill. There is no sign of a ditch. The "inside" of the camp is to the left.
I may well be wrong, but I think that this bank may be a former internal division of what was once a much bigger camp taking in the entire promontary, not just the southern end.

Log Text: Wonderful views from SW round to NW with Drakestone Point and Brackenbury Ditches easily made out but why are Horton and Sodbury Camps so close to each other (1.5km) - Sodbury has larger earthworks Horton has the Cotswold Scarp
Honeycombe Farm
Date Added: 24th Jun 2011
Site Type: Chambered Tomb
Country: England (Gloucestershire)
Visited: Yes on 23rd Jun 2011. My rating: Condition -1 Ambience 2 Access 5
Log Text: Where this is supposed to be is very easy to get to and even easier be sure where you are when you get there. The Long Barrow is marked on OS Explorer as being where a footpath crosses the local B road - there is no sign of the barrow's continued existence - at least no sign in crop level (wheat) - may need to check again after harvest but I am not hopeful

Visited: Yes on 28th Aug 2012. My rating: Condition 3 Ambience 3 Access 3
Holy Well (Biddestone) submitted by KiwiBetsy on 13th Sep 2006. The Starwell is quite a large spring that flows from a slope and into a small stream. If you are lucky you may find one of the tiny star shaped fossils (crinoids) which give the spring one of it’s names. These fossils are freed from the underlying rock by the water, carried to the surface and deposited in the silty bed of the spring. We spent some time sifting about in the icy water (closely watched by a herd of curious cows) but found only a few modern coins, no doubt left by previous visi...

Log Text: Getting a bit threadbare - too many visitors - be patient you will find a star stone but then don't be greedy - farmer's permission should be sought - it is on the north side of the fast flowing and quite deep brook and just under the 'bend' in the power lines

High Cross Stone (Elkstone)
Date Added: 21st Nov 2011
Site Type: Standing Stone (Menhir)
Country: England (Gloucestershire)
Visited: Yes on 20th Nov 2011. My rating: Condition 3 Ambience 4 Access 5
High Cross Stone (Elkstone) submitted by Celia_Haddon on 3rd Nov 2004. Set against the wall with a crown of ivy is a triangular stone with two holes, a sign that this may have had a metal plate attached. According to ‘Old Stones of the Cotswolds” by D.P. Sullivan, this was once a marker for the Coberley Parish boundary. It is near the site of a vanished long barrow and may indeed be the original standing stone 9probably form this) which stood in the field.

Log Text: This Stone is well camouflaged - is it from a previously unreported Long Barrow rumoured to be in the locality? - nice pub (The Highwayman) on the A435 - good beer Arkells

Log Text: There is more to this site than the fact that it is of Roman design and build - like Sodbury there could well have been an Iron Age Fort previously
