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)

Site Type: Standing Stones

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 ...
