Site Type: Chambered Tomb
Country: England (Gloucestershire)
Visited: Yes on 2nd Jun 2011
Oldfield Wood submitted by 4clydesdale7 on 2nd Jun 2011. One pile of stones almost certainly from the site which is just 30m up the field to the left of shot - beyond that is the farm track approach. This passes Rugger's Green Barn famous for flints - RGB is down shot from camera three fields away towards Nailsworth

Long Stone (Minchinhampton)
Date Added: 30th May 2011
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 ...

Starveall

Starveall submitted by TheCaptain on 29th Mar 2004. Starveall Barrow, South Gloucestershire, ST794879, March 2004.
View looking west at the barrows east side.
The ploughed field surrounding the barrow is eating away at it. The most recent ploughing must have taken a couple of feet from each end, with all the stones which formerly made up the mound being scattered across the field.

Gatcombe Lodge submitted by thecaptain on 24th Mar 2009. Having read several tales of people being stopped and questioned by rapidly arriving police here, I didn’t spend long, and just took a photo from the entry to the estate.
It looks to be the regular shapeless lumpy bumpy mess covered in trees.
