I present to you the Bronze Age standing stone, known as Queen's Stone.

Excavated in 1926 by Alfred Watkins (of Ley Lines fame), twice as much lies buried beneath the ground.

It sits alone in a huge bend of the River Wye, near Symonds Yat.

And the strangest thing about it? There appears to be no surviving folklore about this remarkable stone 🤷🏼‍♀️

A small cream-coloured dog rests beside the weathered Queen's Stone, its tall sandstone pillars rising against a blue summer sky. Fields stretch away behind, with an irrigation sprinkler misting crops beneath drifting white clouds.
