Stone Stile, Bibury Fallen idles. The one in the foreground is about 1m from the current route of Gloucestershire footpath KBY18 and a wooden stile. The pile due North near the horse are similarly close to a farm track. At least one of these groups was probably the remains of a stone stile. An old farm house called Upper Severalls is to the NW, Ablington further NNW. The field beyond the hedges is the site of Rowberrow Camp, a series of ditches surrounding several small tumps.
