| You’re a treasure-trove of information Fitz :-) Are you going to post that on the Wheeldale page for future reference? If these stones were cross road markers, how did they end up on the sides of a road with no junctions (apart from where it forks), do you reckon Moth’s right with his guide stone idea and that they were moved there at a later date for safe passage in bad weather? Also if they stood at cross roads maybe the holes held direction boards, but then they would only point in 2 directions I suppose. Not really megalithic but interesting anyway. As for boundaries and trackways I’ve seen the same thing further south, Towthorpe Plantation is a line of barrows that are believed to stand next to a prehistoric trackway and they still mark the county boundary between Humberside and North Yorkshire. -Chris Reply | with quote |  18th September 2003ce 19:57 In reply to: Wheeldale Stones for Chris (fitzcoraldo) |
