Paracombe Lane

Standing Stone / Menhir

starrybob Dec 17, 2006

An un-named stone in the middle of a field, it is believed to mark the source of a stream,possibly connected in some way to St.Thomas well located a little to the South East of this site. It was a dry afternoon when I took the photos shown here and the weather had been dry for some time so there was no sign of a water source,or a hint of bog plants.
