Excavate? Surely you jest. Its not my job to dig around ancient monuments. I am not an archeologist. What you suggest is vandalism; and I am surprised.
Your understanding of the engineering at the quoit is faulty. There is an excellent way of showing that Stone 9 has been in place since the thing was built, and that is it still plays its part in the equilibrium of the structure.You undermine your credibilty with what might be good ideas by only recently spotting something that has been there all along and the subject of intensive study. The structural theory behind this monument is no longer in doubt, and if you have been there many times and now say you only noticed Stone 9 recently then your ideas are not really of any consequence to the present inquiry. I thank you, however , for your interest. All grist to the mill.
