Visited: Yes on 31st Aug 2008
Farmcote gatepost submitted by h_fenton on 31st Aug 2008. An old stone gatepost(?- no hinges) at Farmcote in Gloucestershire (Cotswolds near Winchcombe). Most stone gateposts across the cotswolds are square in section c.40x40cm and stand upto 1.5metres high with a rounded top. This gatepost is unusual, in that it is a rough triangular shaped stone which has then been extensively carved and shaped on three sides, with recesses that suggest it had wooden posts tightly against it, plus some small rectangular sockets of unknown function.

Log Text: Arrived at Chysauster early before the site was quite open, got my free entry with my CADW life membership card, and got permission to fly my kite here. A nice relaxed time, light winds, I was amazed everytime I brought my camera back to the ground how different and understandable everything seemed from the viewpoint far above my head. On the ground you walk through the courtyard houses; peer into the different rooms, but you don't really get the spatial relationship of everything, but the view from the camera hanging beneath the kite just gives the different rooms, different houses, spaces between all a context and enhances the understanding of this remarkable site.
