Hello - I'm new to this site, hope anyone can help.

I'm staying with friends this weekend in Oxford and have heard there's some menhirs worth seeing. Time will be limited. Obviously the Rollrights will get a swingby. Can anyone recommend anywhere else?

Thanks in advance

Well, here's the index http://www.themodernantiquarian.com/site/523

Personally, I'd recommend (probably obviously) the Rollrights, Uffy poppo & Waylands, but then:

The Hawk Stone

The Hoar Stone (at Enstone) or Old Soldier

Churchill

Thorstone at Taston

and Lambourn Sevenbarrows if you go down Uffington way http://www.themodernantiquarian.com/site/61
