Llanwrthwl submitted by Johnny on 8th Jul 2002. Llanwrthwl Church Standing Stone, Powys (SN 975 636):
This is a fine example of a probable prehistoric site having been "taken over" in the early days of Christianity. It stands only a short distance from the south porch of the church and is about 1.75m high.

Long Stone (Minchinhampton)

Site Type: Standing Stones

Visited: Would like to visit
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 ...
