Chipping Sodbury Stone Circle
Date Added: 29th Oct 2019
Site Type: Modern Stone Circle etc
Country: England (Gloucestershire)
Visited: Yes on 1st Jan 2016
Chipping Sodbury Stone Circle submitted by TheCaptain on 1st Jan 2016. New Years Day 2016 has been a foul miserable dark and wet day, so in a small effort to get myself out of the house, thought I'd go and get a couple of pictures of this fairly new stone circle. I dont know when this was constructed, I only noticed it for the first time sometime last year; it seems fairly new and I assume the stones are from the local quarry.

Menhir de Coat Mocoun (sud) submitted by TheCaptain on 26th Jul 2016. Spent some time looking for various menhirs here while travelling through the area. To the south of the road junction I followed a pathway through some newly cut scrubland which was until revently forest, heading towards the noise of the quarry. The path eventually entered into some wooded land, with many boulders laying around, the remnants of quarrying.
Then I saw something. Not an 8m tall menhir, but a 4 metre tall stone standing amongst noulders. I am pretty convinved that this stone...

Challacombe Cross Settlement submitted by TheCaptain on 5th Mar 2017. A photo of what I have called Shapley Common Hut, taken during a walk at Easter 1988.
