Hautville's Quoit [Map] lies across the River Chew from the Stanton Drew Stone Circles. Historic England 1002475:

The monument includes a recumbent standing stone, situated on a low rise just above the floodplain, in the valley of and overlooking the River Chew. The recumbent standing stone survives as an earthfast monolith partially buried into a bank and measuring at least 1m square by 0.3m high. The standing stone was recorded by Stukeley writing in 1723 as being one of a pair of stones, and it is known to have been recumbent since the mid-17th century. It is believed to be an outlier to the complex stone circle of Stanton Drew which is the subject of a separate scheduling.

1664. Monumenta Britannica by John Aubrey ... The common people tell this incredible story, that Hakewell stood upon the top of Norton Hill, about half a mile off where the Coyte [Map] now lies, and coyted it down to this place; for which having the Manor of Norton given him, and thinking it too little, did give it the name of Norton Mal-reward which they pronounce small reward.

In 1723 Stukeley (age 35) described Hautville's Quoit [Map] as being 4m long. It is now half that.

In the road lies an immense stone called Hautville's Coit [Map] (a name that has sustained for many ages) and is by tradition reported to have been thrown hither by that gigantick champion Sir John Hautville, from Mays-Knolle-Hill upwards of a mile distant, the place of his abode. The tump on that hill is also affirmed to have been the cleanings of the same man's spade, and so confident are the common people of the reality of the manoevre, that a farmhouse erected of late years near the coit was distinguished by the title of Hautville's Coit Farm, which doubtless it will preserve until records are no more.

This stone was formerly of a vast magnitude, being computed to have weighed upwards of 30 tons; but the waggon loads of fragments that have been broken from it at different times, for the purpose of mending the roads, have diminished its consequence as to bulk and appearance, though not as to antiquity or the design of its erection, for it was part of a very remarkable monument of antiquity, which has distinguished the parish for many ages and has diverted the steps of many a traveller... [ie, the circles at Stanton Drew].

History of Somerset: Stanton Drew. The river Chew washes this parish, and runs under a stone bridge northward from the church in its way to Pensford. The road to that town from Chew passes to the north of this river, and in the road lies an immense stone called Hautville's-Coit [Map], (a name it has sustained for many ages) and is by tradition reported to have been thrown hither by that gigantick champion Sir John Hautville, from Mays-Knolle-Hill, upwards of a mile distant, the place of his abode. The tump on that hill is alfo affirmed to have been the cleanings of the same man's spade; and so confident are the common people of the reality of the manoeuvre, that a farm-house erected of late years near the coit, was distinguiftied by the title of Hautville's-Coit Farm, which doubtless it will preserve till records are no more.

Memoirs Historical and Topographical of Bristol Volume 1 Chapter. 100. North or north-westward from this cove are two large stones lying flat in a field, called Lower Tyning: they are said by Wood to be 3250 feet (i.e. two-thirds of a mile) from the center of the great circle.—Lastly, north-east from the great circle beyond the brook by the side of the road, as you approach Stanton Drew from the east, is a very large stone, called Hackell's Quoit [Map]: others call it Hackham's, and Ackam's, and Hakim's Quoit; but I am informed that the first is the proper orthography, derived from Hawkwell, a former possessor of land on the spot; but Stukeley calls him "Hautvill, a famous champion, of whom Legends are printed under the name of Sir John Hawkwell, as vulgarly pronounced."—lf the preceding account be compared with that given by Stukeley, it will be found, that this interesting monument of our ancestors, has suffered no discernible damage, since the time when that learned Antiquary visited it about A'D' 1723. A reprint of his and Musgrave's Views would be essentially useful for a History of the Britons. Stukeley supposes the original number of stones to have been about 100, the hypothesis of concentric circles inducing him to set down the number beyond all bounds of probability. My conjecture would be, not more than 60. Beside which some others, as it is said by the neighbours, lie on the ground unnoticed in unfrequented parts of the parish.

Archaeological Journal Volume 15 Pages 199-215. Collinson was of opinion that there had been avenues to the great circle, and that the large stone north-east [Hautville's Quoit [Map]] from it on the other side of the river had served as part of a portal to one of them. Stukeley, however, did not believe that there had ever been any avenue to this work. Of the celebrated stone just mentioned, Aubrey gives the following account: "About a quarter of a mile from this monument of the Wedding is a stone called Hakewell's Coyte, which is a great roundish stone, of the shape of a coyte; length of it is 10 feet 16 (sic) inches, broad 6 feet 6 inches, thick 1 foot 10 inches, and lies flatt, and seems to have been left: it is of the same sort of stone with those at the Wedding. This is not erect as they of Stoneheng, &c. The common people tell this incredible story, that Hakewell stood upon the top of Norton Hill, about half a mile off where the coyte now lies, and coyted it down to this place; for which having the Manor of Norton given him, and thinking it too little, did give it the name of Norton-mal-reward, which they pronounce Small-reward. That in these parts anciently was one Hakewell, a person of great estate and strength of body, is manifest by the figure in his monument in Chew Church."

Stanton Drew Cove [Map] is a Avebury Type Cove constructed around 3500BC ±500 years near to the Stanton Drew Stone Circles. It is now in the garden of a local pub. The stones are of a different rock to the stones that form the stone circles. The stones are believed to be the portal stones of a Chambered Tomb rather than an actual Cove; Coves appear to be a later form of monument.

Avebury by William Stukeley. The cove [Map], as most commonly, consists of three stones, set in a half-moon figure, or, to be more exact, upon the end of an ellipsis whose focus, I suppose, would be in a line upon the foremost edges of the two wings. This is situate in the south-west; part of the oval knoll of ground that contains the whole ; at present in an orchard south of the church, and west of the nunnery before mentioned. The wings are standing, but much diminished by age or violence ; some great pieces being broke off: the stone on the back is fallen down, being a larger one: it is 13 foot long, and 8 broad; therefore of the same dimensions with Hautvil's Coyt [Map], before spoken of. This cove opens to the south-east.

History of Somerset: Stanton Drew. This part, though in itself immense, and occupying a large extent of ground, appears to be only the centre of the stupendous building. Doubtless there were many avenues to it, and Hautville's-coit seems to have served as part of a portal to one of them. There were also other outworks, one of which [Stanton Drew Cove [Map]], consisting of three prodigious stones, placed in a triangular form, still remains on a small eminence, in an orchard belonging to Mr. Fowler, southwest from the church. Two of these ftones are standing; the largest measuring ten feet in height, and six feet and a half in width; the one that is fallen is fourteen feet long, and eight feet wide.¹

North-west from the last circle, little more than 100 yards distant, is a Core [Stanton Drew Cove [Map]], ten feet wide and about eight feet deep, formed of three large flat stones 18 inches thick: they are reckoned by Wood to be 992 feet from the centre of the great circle. The stone which formed the back is thrown down, and apparently two corners are broken out: it is 13 feet long, perhaps two feet of it were underground. The south-western stone is standing in it's place, eleven feet high. The north-eastern is standing, only five feet high; whether it was once higher, which is probable, cannot be ascertained. Such coves are supposed to have been erected for judicial purposes, where the Druids sat and administered justice to the neighbouring tribe. This cove [Map] is within a stone's throw from the Church of Stanton Drew.

Proceedings of the Somerset Archaeological and Natural History Society Volume 14 Pages 161-172. The Cove [Map] is situated a little to the south-west of the parish church, and is formed by three stones standing in an orchard. The two side stones are still standing, but that which formed the back is fallen down. These three stones are 18 inches thick, and the respective lengths of from 10 to 14 feet. The cove [Map] is 10 feet wide and about 8 feet deep, and opens to the south-east.¹ The first circle is distant 157 yards from this cove [Map] in an easterly direction the number of stones which originally composed the circle appears to have been twelve, and the diameter of the circle, according to Mr. Crocker, is 129 feet. There are now remaining in the orchard, in w'hich it is partly situated six stones, and three in the adjoining field, and one under the wall which separates the orchard from the field, making ten in all; but the circle when complete probably con sisted of twelve. 150 yards from this circle in a north east direction, is the Great Circle, the diameter of which, according to Mr. Crocker^s measurement, is from east to west 345 feet, and from north to south 378 feet. It is therefore, strictly speaking, an ellipse, with the longer axis from north to south. The number of stones remaining is fourteen, of which three only are standing, others are said to be beneath the surface. The tallest of the standing stones is 7J feet high, and about 6 feet thick. They are all of a very rude appearance. The original number was probably twenty-four. Seyer says twenty-seven.

'This noble monument is vulgarly called the Weddings; and they say'tis a company at a nuptial solemnity thus petrify'd. In an orchard near the church is a cove [Map] consisting of three stones like that of the northern circle in Abury or that of Longstones; this they call the parson, the bride, and bridegroom. Other circles are said to be the company dancing; and a separate parcel of stones standing a little from the rest are call'd the fidlers, or the band of musick.'

Archaeological Journal Volume 15 Pages 199-215. We will first direct our attention to the three stones in the orchard on the higher ground to the south of the church, and which form what Stukeley called The Cove [Map]. The two side stones are standing, and that which formed the back is fallen down. These three stones are 18 inches thick; the prostrate one, of which, perhaps, 2 feet were under ground, is, according to Collinson, 14 feet long, and 8 feet wide; the taller of the two which are upright is 10 feet high and in width; the other is only 5 feet high. Stukeley makes the recumbent stone "13 foot long, and 8 broad." Seyer says it is 13 feet long, and that the south western of the standing stones is 11 feet high. " Whether it was once higher, which is probable, cannot be ascertained." The Cove [Map] is 10 feet wide, and about 8 deep, and opens to the south-east. The best print I have seen of it is that given by Stukeley in the Itinerarium Curiosum.
