Log Text: I found nowhere to stop near here on the horribly busy road with everyone rushing home from work in St Nazaire. However, I don’t let it beat me that easily, and eventually found somewhere to stop and wallk back to where the dolmen is marked on the map. Once I got there, I could see no way into the field, but could see lots of stones in a heap on top of a mound.

Log Text: Visit after a cycling weekend in Purbeck. I remember it being difficult to get into the wood to look at the stones, but once in there seeing a lot of stones seemingly littered around, with a few standing making a part of a small circle near to the road. Once known where it was, seeing one or two stones from the road as passing was possible, with one nice large stone stood at the edge of the woodland. Some of the stones had coins inserted into crevices.

Log Text: A quick look during a weekend in Purbeck. I found about 8 or 9 stones in the woods at the side of the road, probably in a circular shape, mostly well overgrown with brambles and ferns, with no way of telling what was really there, and could not see more than two stones at a time! Many of the stones had coins placed on them. A bit further along was a sort of stone setting, perhaps once part of an avenue, of which there was no way of telling whether ancient or some sort of stone clearance.

Log Text: Walking up from Penmaenmawr, once up on the plateau, the first site I see is the Red Farm stone circle. Its over a wall in a field containing horses, and there are lots of people out looking like they are on an organised shooting event, so I satisfy myself with the view over the wall. Looks like about 4 stones on a flattened platform, with a couple of other either outliers or moved stones laying around.

Randwick Long Barrow
Date Added: 27th Sep 2021
Site Type: Long Barrow
Country: England (Gloucestershire)
Visited: Yes on 14th Mar 2009. My rating: Condition 4 Ambience 4 Access 4
Randwick Long Barrow submitted by thecaptain on 13th Apr 2009. On the left of the picture here, at the northeastern end of the barrow, are the remains of a horned entrance with forecourt and a single stone lined chamber.
Remains of this chamber are supposedly still to be seen, but the barrow is heavily overgrown here, making any stone remains invisible to me when I visited.

Log Text: This massive Long Barrow is to be found within Standish Wood, at the top of the hills to the north of Stroud. The remaining mound is about 55 metres in length, up to half as wide, and still 4 metres in height. At the northeastern end are the remains of a horned entrance with forecourt and a single stone lined chamber. Remains of this chamber are supposedly still to be seen, but the barrow is heavily overgrown, making any stone remains invisible to me when I visited.
The barrow is set right on the hilltop, and almost surrounded by various quarrying and pits, some of which may date back almost as long as the barrow itself. Positioned within this thick Cotswold woodland, the place is very atmospheric, and supposedly a much more authentic setting than those barrows in open fields.
A bit further on in the woods to the northeast are a couple of other round barrows, and a crossdyke.
From Stroud, take the road north towards Randwick, and follow it up the hill, taking the little lane to the left when almost at the hilltop. There is a small parking area here, and a well maintained trackway north into the woods, from where the barrow is only a few hundred metres distant.
