Log Text: Really difficult to spot when the bracken is long... There is a partr but you can walk right past it this time of year and totally miss it. Look out for snakes in the hot weather too.

Log Text: Easy to find if you know where it is! Drive or walk out of Avebury along the Avenue and stop at the free parking where the stones end. One the other side of the road is a hedge with access to the field. Walk down the hedge to almost the bottom order nd the stone is n the hedgerow.

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.
