Winterbourne Monkton (Churchyard)

Standing Stone / Menhir

Fieldnotes

Visited 1.10.11

I had been meaning to visit this site for quite a while and am glad I finally managed it.

The stone is easily found next to the end of the church and is about 2.5 metres long x 1.5 metres wide. The grass around the stone was well trimmed and the stone has a fair bit of lichen covering it.

Phew – it's a scorcher today.

The font inside the church is interesting too. Thought to be a sheelanagig carved on it.
