Long Holcombe (S)
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Standing Stone (Menhir)
Country: England (Somerset)
Visited: Yes on 13th Apr 2007
Long Holcombe (S) submitted by thecaptain on 13th Apr 2007. When I eventually found the stone, which is almost lost among the long grass, it is only about 18 inches high, and it leans to the south, uphill.
I came to the conclusion that this stone is perhaps the last remaining stone of what was originally a stone setting of some kind, and that there was probably further stones in amongst the moor grass at one time.

Log Text: I was able to get right to this lovely stone this time, although in a rush as there was nowhere to park and I left the car blocking the little lane. The stone stands about 4 metres tall in a very swampy field, and I got soaking wet feet while walking up to the stone, but at least it washed clean all the mud from La Pierre Plantée. It now has a little information post at the gateway to the field, and is numbered on a marked walk around the village, so I must go and look for more information at St Pierre l'Eglise.
