The Grickstone
Date Added: 25th Jun 2012
Site Type: Standing Stone (Menhir)
Country: England (Gloucestershire)
Visited: Yes on 21st Jun 2010. My rating: Condition 3 Ambience 4 Access 2
The Grickstone submitted by TheCaptain on 13th Apr 2004. Nice standing stone to the south of Grickstone farm, beside a footpath at the corner of a small wood. The stone has about 6 foot in length above ground, but due to the angle at which it leans, is only about 4 feet high. Nicely decorated with lichens. South Gloucestershire, ST777828.

Horton Camp
Date Added: 25th Jun 2012
Site Type: Hillfort
Country: England (Gloucestershire)
Visited: Yes on 21st Jun 2010. My rating: Condition 2 Ambience 5 Access 4
Horton Camp submitted by TheCaptain on 29th Mar 2004. Horton Camp Hillfort, South Gloucestershire, ST765845, March 2004.
View looking northwest along the remaining bank across the top of the hill. There is no sign of a ditch. The "inside" of the camp is to the left.
I may well be wrong, but I think that this bank may be a former internal division of what was once a much bigger camp taking in the entire promontary, not just the southern end.

Long Stone (Minchinhampton)
Date Added: 25th Jun 2012
Site Type: Standing Stones
Country: England (Gloucestershire)
Visited: Yes on 20th Jun 2010. My rating: Condition 3 Ambience 3 Access 2
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

Visited: Yes on 20th Jun 2010. My rating: Ambience 3 Access 4
Gatcombe Lodge submitted by thecaptain on 24th Mar 2009. Having read several tales of people being stopped and questioned by rapidly arriving police here, I didn’t spend long, and just took a photo from the entry to the estate.
It looks to be the regular shapeless lumpy bumpy mess covered in trees.

Country: England (Shropshire)
Visited: Yes on 14th Mar 2007
Oak Farm Bowl Barrow submitted by TheWhiteRider on 14th Mar 2007. The remains of this ploughed out barrow appear as little more than a slight mound, but its size appears accentuated because it is on high ground and the road is quite sunken. Taken from the Bicton Road.

Stevenshill
Date Added: 25th Jun 2012
Site Type: Hillfort
Country: England (Shropshire)
Visited: Yes on 22nd Oct 2006
Stevenshill submitted by TheWhiteRider on 22nd Oct 2006. Stevenshill Hillfort. This is the view from the road looking up towards the top of the hill. The lighter area indicates roughly where the interior of the fort would have been. A low bank may still cross this field, but nothing could be discerned. It was described in 1977 as a "wide, much spread bank about 1m high maximum." About a quarter of the width of the image in from the left, on the tree line, is a possible section of remaining scarp bank.
