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.

Log Text: What a great area for Broadstones - far more to be found than have been documented in the past - this must surely be the 'Stony Farmstead' denoted by the name Staunton

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
