Log Text: The adjoining hedge has been trimmed back, so The Bloody Stone is visible on the pavement on the east side of the north part of the bridge and descent over the railway.
The Bulwarks (Breedon on the Hill)
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Hillfort
Country: England (Leicestershire and Rutland)
Visited: Yes on 23rd Sep 2007
The Bulwarks (Breedon on the Hill) submitted by TimPrevett on 23rd Sep 2007. This is on the southern end of the hill, ramparts survive better, IIRC, on the western side, but time and incoming heavy rain were against me on this visit. Take in the church, too, which heaves with history from Anglo-Saxon, Norman, and beyond!

Site Type: Hillfort
Country: England (Herefordshire)
Visited: Yes on 14th Aug 2005
Coxall Knoll submitted by TimPrevett on 14th Aug 2005. Viewed from the A4113 - with this view in front, getting my camera was a must; unfortunately time did not permit a stop. This is a multivallate hillfort, wooded, with possible recumbent standing stone within the ramparts. Straddles the border of Shropshire and Herefordshire.

The Whet Stone (Hergest Ridge)
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Natural Stone / Erratic / Other Natural Feature
Country: England (Herefordshire)
Visited: Yes on 22nd Sep 2008
The Whet Stone (Hergest Ridge) submitted by TimPrevett on 22nd Sep 2008. Text from Hanterman: This is not a standing stone as such but a large (2.0m by 1.8m) lump of stone, probably naturaly deposited. From its position atop Hergest Ridge it aquires the most magnificent views to all the known Neolithic and Bronze Age sites in the Walton Basin and Barrows on the surrounding hillsides. though distant some may be. It has many folk tales attached to it from down the centuries. My reason for its inclusion is its alignment with other standing stones on Hergest Ridge and ac...

Long Stone (Minchinhampton)
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Standing Stones
Country: England (Gloucestershire)
Visited: Yes on 30th Dec 2009
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 ...

Gatcombe Lodge
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Long Barrow
Country: England (Gloucestershire)
Visited: Yes on 1st Jan 2010
Gatcombe Lodge submitted by TimPrevett on 1st Jan 2010. Visited here on Boxing Day 2009 upon recommendation of my Prehistoric England guidebook from the 1970s which made no mention of Royal Estate which locals later told me about.
Ruined remains of a chamber on the more eastern end of the huge long barrow mound, and what appears as quarrying / robbing damage on the north side of the eastern end.
Advanced twilight by the time we got here (having watched sunset from the Long Stone just across the road) so very dark and use of flash imperative (also...

Log Text: Visited on a bright winter day, the stone is slightly up from what has become a parking bay, well outside the last of the three properties in this cul-de-sac. The laurel seen in photos quite a few years back has been kept from swallowing seeing the stone. 10 digit grid reference from the OS app while leaning on the stone is SO 85742 02389, and I know some find it helpful, what3words is alongside.tame.forgot . The stone is well outside private property boundaries, but nevertheless one feels very conspicuous poking around!

Log Text: From previous photos, it’s less overgrown than many of those - but early spring vegetation was already reaching over the stones. The ambience reflects the condition of the stones’ presentation - but also seeing them on a blue-sky March day.
Seven Wells
Date Added: 2nd Mar 2025
Site Type: Holy Well or Sacred Spring
Country: England (Gloucestershire)
Visited: Yes on 2nd Mar 2025. My rating: Condition 4 Ambience 4 Access 5
Seven Wells submitted by KiwiBetsy on 6th Dec 2004. Seven Wells is found in the delightful village of Bisley, built into the hillside below All Saint’s Church and graveyard.
A semicircle of five gothic arched recesses account for five wells with the water arising in the hillside being channelled into a shallow stone trough and then down into a subterranean gravel bottomed pool. Two other channels emerge from each end of the structure and their water falls into deeper stone troughs before overflowing and disappearing underground. That mak...

Log Text: Seven Wells, Bisley. As the name suggests, seven apertures of water flow into a magnificent presentation on the hillside. A number of older wells to the east still have water flowing. The incongruity is the whole area is hemmed in by parked cars, fabulous for disabled access but makes appreciation more difficult. The churchyard is a peaceful nature reserve too. All a worthwhile visit and a package of fascinating places in the village.

Log Text: Visiting very often over the last couple years, and have been less often over 16 years. today I visited the less visited end, and it’s quite a beauty of a cross dyke. No erosion from pedestrian, animal and wheeled recreation at the southern end. The north end is heavily cut across, and terminates in a very steep drop.

Log Text: Easily missed unless you’re paying active attention to find them. Only really noticed them in the last month in 16 years of walking past dozens of times. Looks like a “desire path” is forming from the cross dyke past these round barrows.
