Bisley Barrow submitted by hamish on 21st Nov 2004. On the road from Waterlane to Bisley you will pass on the right a clay pigeon shoot, the barrow is just up the road by a public footpath. It is very over grown and difficult to access so be careful.

Log Text: This took a lot of research and the result was worth it - the Horestone is as impressive as the other Minchinhampton Ancient Stones - just took some finding - greatest help from a local lady 'in a hurry' who really was most kind and also aid from the Secretary of the Minchinhampton Local History Society who 'pointed me in the right direction'

High Cross Stone (Elkstone)

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
