Log Text: Take one stable owner with several reels of electric fencing making horse pens, combine him/her with the local badger community and what do you get? - a seriously damaged round/bell barrow fast becoming an eyesore - never mind the potential for an electric shock even on the Public Footpath!!! Pity because the older part of Bitton can be quite pretty - never mind the Boyd and Avon Valleys

Log Text: This Stone is something of an enigma - there is no good reason for it being where it is - it is however worth that 'little bit extra' to get close to - the markings are quite extraordinary - was there any human influence on its placement?

The Golden Well (Dorstone) submitted by AJHL on 18th Feb 2023. The Golden Well. The bullrushes grow out of the pool which is overgrown and difficult to see. But you will know it when you suddenly drop in to it like I did! Thankfully no giant carp in sight.

Log Text: I am intrigued as to why this is also called 'Chastleton Barrow' - could 'Barrow' be a corruption of 'Bury' (in the local dialect where there 'y' is not pronounced) - and it is still populated by horses -

Log Text: These stones are really 'Rugg' or 'Rugge' stones i.e. a geological feature - the stones have been collected over many years of field clearance
