London Stone
Date Added: 29th Oct 2019
Site Type: Marker Stone
Country: England (Greater London)
Visited: Yes on 24th Nov 2013
London Stone submitted by theCaptain on 24th Nov 2013.

Country: England (Devon)
Visited: Yes on 12th Feb 2019
Fernworthy stone row SE submitted by TheCaptain on 12th Feb 2019. The southeastern stone row is short and of small stones, hard to tell whether it is a single or a double row with little space between the two rows.
The northern terminus of the row has a cairn, but there is nothing obvious of the southern terminus, with just 20m of stones to be seen.

Pierre du Pôt submitted by theCaptain on 2nd Jan 2014. I found this remarkably easily, travelling thriugh Ussy past the school, and I pulled off the road into a large parking area to look at the village map on the street nearby. Lo and behold, I had pulled into the sports centre, and the stone was standing there right in front of the car!

Menhir de la Grurie
Date Added: 29th Oct 2019
Site Type: Standing Stone (Menhir)
Country: France (Normandie:Calvados (14))

Menhir de la Grurie submitted by theCaptain on 3rd Jan 2014. This stone can be found in a field to the west of the village of Villiers Canivet, to the south of the big water tower between here and the village of Ussy.
A strange rectangular section stone, is it a fallen (but on edge) menhir, or perhaps a backstone or fallen capstone from a burial chamber?
