Churchill
Date Added: 12th Jan 2011
Site Type: Stone Circle
Country: England (Oxfordshire)
Visited: Yes on 11th Jun 2005
Churchill submitted by hamish on 11th Jun 2005. The Stone Circle in Sarsgrove woods was last reported in 1929 but has not been seen since. It would seem the stones have been removed over the years and are scattered over the village. These stones by the Church are probably from the circle. More info on Celia's pages.

About one and a half miles up the Radstock road A362 , just before you reach Buckland Dinham look for Murtry Hill Lane. Follow this till you reach Murtrey Hill Farm. Park by the field gate on the right,you have to walk the hedge line and at the end there are the stones. It is a good idea to ask the Farmers permission,which he readily gives. He can also tell you something about the stones. ...

Wook's Quoit submitted by Hamish on 10th May 2004. ST390578 Somerset Nr Banwell.
When you reach the farm there is no problem parking.Ask the landowner for permission to enter.They are quite happy to give this permission.Be careful of the guardian geesethey have a hard peck.The stone is of the same type as the Stanton Drew stones. The farmers wife told me that they get a lot of dowsers there who find "interesting things"
This stone is well worth the effort finding.
