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.
