Site Type: Standing Stone (Menhir)

Gray Hill stone row submitted by TheCaptain on 2nd Apr 2004. Grey Hill or Gray Hill Stone Row, Monmouthshire, ST437936 - ST438935
Looking to the south down the hill, is a fairly reasonable alignment of 5 stones in a row, which sort of joins between the jumbled stone remains on the top of the hill and the stone circle.

Log Text: Not for the faint hearted... the hill is steep! The tallest standing stone is the easiest to spot. The circle is 45 meters to the south.

Log Text: Easy to find if you know where it is! Drive or walk out of Avebury along the Avenue and stop at the free parking where the stones end. One the other side of the road is a hedge with access to the field. Walk down the hedge to almost the bottom order nd the stone is n the hedgerow.

Log Text: The triangular stone directly behind it is visible from about a mile. A distant standing stone appears that it might have been aligned.

Long Tom (Avebury) submitted by ocifant on 3rd Jan 2005. This looks too clean and angular to be very old. I think the jury is out on this one...

Log Text: Really difficult to spot when the bracken is long... There is a partr but you can walk right past it this time of year and totally miss it. Look out for snakes in the hot weather too.
