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

Holy Well (Biddestone)
Date Added: 8th Sep 2012
Site Type: Holy Well or Sacred Spring
Country: England (Wiltshire)
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

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
