Hey yous
I was writing up some notes on a cup marked stone in Fortingall Churchyard when I came across the following info from the RCAHMS database- apparently this stone was buried at a depth of 8 foot just a few feet from the (approx) 3000 year old yew tree. Now I know that stones get buried due to agricultural activities (although I very much doubt there would have been much going on around this tree and sacred site) but *eight foot*- methinks this was a deliberate burial. Has anyone else come across such stone burial? Was this stone *ever* meant to be standing, or was it cup marked and buried as a magickal symbol next to the yew tree? Hmmmmmm ;)
TKnowxxx
