Site Type: Marker Stone
Country: England (Greater London)
Visited: Yes on 24th Nov 2013
London Stone submitted by theCaptain on 24th Nov 2013. I struggled to find The London Stone at first, not helped by looking for it at No 110, instead of No 111, and asked several people of its whereabouts, but nobody knew...

Pierre du Pôt submitted by theCaptain on 2nd Jan 2014. I found this remarkably easily, travelling thriugh Ussy past the school, and I pulled off the road into a large parking area to look at the village map on the street nearby. Lo and behold, I had pulled into the sports centre, and the stone was standing there right in front of the car!

Menhir de la Grurie submitted by theCaptain on 3rd Jan 2014. This stone can be found in a field to the west of the village of Villiers Canivet, to the south of the big water tower between here and the village of Ussy.
A strange rectangular section stone, is it a fallen (but on edge) menhir, or perhaps a backstone or fallen capstone from a burial chamber?

I thought this photo would be useful to compare with my recent notes from here, but it looks like I have yet to upload them and my pictures!
Have to say that only yesterday I was wishing I was here to check on my theory, that this whole headland may have been washed clear by the waves, now I know that it is in...
