The spiral carving was very neatly done, obviously by someone skilled in stone carving – A misguided artist perhaps? The attempt to remove it is being done by crude pummeling & has been going on for over a year now; the original carver I suspect would have destroyed his work very quickly with appropriate tools.



Motivation is interesting when it comes to these things, a stone mason practising his craft maybe and expressing his belief, and another
person destroying it in some sort of hatred of pagan symbols. Which makes me think of the Swallowhead Spring, I unpinned this year from the old willow tree a xtian tract with some sort of 'devil' type message, which I presume was addressed to the pagan offerings at this water site, one script trying to overwrite the other........
