All i can tell you is its from my mates land and that is where it is staying, archaeologists have allready tried to spirit it away and leave him with a plaster cast!!...and he is not having it!!

The opinion at the time was it was some of the oldest writing ever found here.

Its taken me a couple of years to get it this far in the hope of finding a bit out about it.


It could be Neolithic up to Bronze age ,then medieval ,Vikings also did some engraving at Maes Howe ,or it could have been done in the past two hundred years .Without it being being seen there is little hope of telling from pics . First major step is to tell if it was stone of metal that did the engraving a local sculptor might help on that .
