Miscellaneous
| This is truly miscellaneous, stones that no longer exist. But just to the east of Bitton Barrow, in between two fields called Mickle Mead and Holm Mead there are several stones following a line just above the River Avon. So to record them for posterity the grid refs for Oldmap Uk are 367552,168907. Well they maybe stones from a stone circle given their site near the river (and the fact that Stanton Drew is not too far away), this part of the world has a lot of Roman history as well, situated under North Stoke, in the hills above with its large 'spout' of water by its church and of course the church in Bitton also supposedly a 'heathen' temple.. The present site of the stones (which must have been moved in the 19th C probably for the road) is I believe a sewage plant!
