I was watching the excellent Standing with Stones DVD again the other night and wondered if any research had taken place to confirm one way or the other if the standing stone within the chamber is in fact a fossilised tree as suggested on the DVD?#

I plan to visit the site in September so it would be nice to know!


I was recently given a very small bit of fossilised wood and there is no doubt in my mind the stone at Byrn Celli Ddu is that. I think it would be so difficult to carve that it is in essence impossible to reproduce that effect.
