The Ancient Barrow Well, St. Briavel's
Date Added: 7th Dec 2020
Site Type: Holy Well or Sacred Spring

The Ancient Barrow Well, St. Briavel's submitted by Cunningwoman on 17th Jun 2019. This is Barrow Well, in Barrow Lane, St Briavel's in Glos. It is the remains of an ancient well that was on this site. Today there is no water in it but the ground around it is quite wet and soggy- which might suggest the spring is still there. There is a plaque, that declares the well to be the site of King Johns water- used for him - whilst he was staying in the near by castle... perhaps in his beer. Written on the plaque is 'Barrow water and Worral wheat...'. However, I feel the stone is more...

Offa's Dyke at Tidenham Chase
Date Added: 30th Oct 2020
Site Type: Misc. Earthwork
Country: England (Gloucestershire)
Visited: Yes on 29th Oct 2020
Offa's Dyke at Tidenham Chase submitted by TheCaptain on 7th Apr 2022. A walk up Offas Dyke from Chepstow to Brockweir, and not hammering down with rain this time, so I got a few snaps. The banks are not built as big as further north, but there is a lot of stone in the construction here, looking more like a wall in places.

Avebury
Date Added: 19th Oct 2020
Site Type: Stone Circle
Country: England (Wiltshire)
Visited: Yes on 1st Aug 2020. My rating: Access 4
Avebury Aerial 0507 submitted by JJ on 4th Nov 2003. Here's my theory: As you can see, the shadows cast on the western side of the circle point to the exact spot for the next stone in line. Perhaps this is why Avebury is more hexagonal in shape than round.
Based on this assumption, then it would be easy to work out the heights of the missing stones without too much difficulty. Maybe the distance between each stone along this side was calculated not by 'linear measurement' but rather set by the preceding stone and shadow cast.

Gray Hill stone row
Date Added: 30th Nov 2020
Site Type: Standing Stone (Menhir)
Country: Wales (Monmouthshire)
Visited: Yes on 30th Jun 2020
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.

Gray Hill summit cairn
Date Added: 30th Nov 2020

Gray Hill summit cairn submitted by TheCaptain on 2nd Apr 2004. Grey Hill or Gray Hill, Monmouthshire. Cairn atop hill at ST434936
Right on the top of the hill, with spectacular views all around is the remains of an ancient, but well worn cairn. I could have been imagining it, but did this cairn once have a kerbed ring around it, and some internal structures ?
