Log Text: This Stone is something of an enigma - there is no good reason for it being where it is - it is however worth that 'little bit extra' to get close to - the markings are quite extraordinary - was there any human influence on its placement?

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'

Site Type: Standing Stone (Menhir)
Country: England (Gloucestershire)

The Grickstone submitted by TheCaptain on 13th Apr 2004. Nice standing stone to the south of Grickstone farm, beside a footpath at the corner of a small wood. The stone has about 6 foot in length above ground, but due to the angle at which it leans, is only about 4 feet high. Nicely decorated with lichens. South Gloucestershire, ST777828.

The Golden Well (Dorstone) submitted by AJHL on 18th Feb 2023. The Golden Well. The bullrushes grow out of the pool which is overgrown and difficult to see. But you will know it when you suddenly drop in to it like I did! Thankfully no giant carp in sight.
