The Staunton Longstone is a Bronze Age standing stone which is approximately seven feet tall and is worth a visit if you happen to be passing close by. It is located by the side of the A4136, about nine miles south of Ross-on-Wye, close to the town of Coleford in the Forest of Dean. The precise National Grid Reference is SO 55913 / 12079 and it stands at an elevation of 749 feet above sea level.

Local folklore has it that the stone will bleed if pricked with a pin at precisely midnight. I have not tried this however for fear of turning into a pumpkin.

Other standing stones and burial Chambers close by include: The Queen Stone * Harold's Stones * Arthur's Stone
