Oxenham Arms, South Zeal, Devon SX651935.

An enormous and magnificent menhir built into the wall of a tremendous pub on the main street in the village of South Zeal, Devon. 

In fact, the pub is believed to have been built by monks in the twelfth century around the menhir. As the pub website says "A very interesting part of the house is the small lounge behind the bar. In this room, set in the wall, is a monolith and the theory of archaeologists is that the monastic builders placed their house around this prehistoric stone shaped by man 5,000 years ago. Notwithstanding deep digging, its foundations have never been reached". 

Here is a picture of myself doing two things I enjoy at the same time, having a nice pint with an ancient stone. This is one stone which is still very much enjoying life !
