Chestnuts
Date Added: 15th Aug 2015
Site Type: Long Barrow
Country: England (Kent)
Visited: Yes. My rating: Ambience 2 Access 5
Chestnuts submitted by enkidu41 on 8th Apr 2004. The stones are massive (the 2 capstones and some uprights weigh up to 10 tons) and once formed a rectangular chamber 12' long and 7' high entered through a facade of sarsen stones. The owner will suggest you try dowsing rods. Do so, because you will be able to trace out the full extent of the chamber and long gone mound. TQ 652 592

Long Stone (Minchinhampton)
Date Added: 14th Aug 2015
Site Type: Standing Stones
Country: England (Gloucestershire)
Visited: Yes on 1st Nov 2013. My rating: 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 ...

Hangman's Stone (Northleach) submitted by thecaptain on 14th Jan 2007. Is this the remains of a burial chamber from a longbarrow ? Is it a fallen menhir ? Is it a more modern boundary stone ? Is it the remnants of a hangmans gibbet ?
I don't know, but to me it could easily be the remains of a burial chamber.
