That's a beauty of a pic. Lovely looking area too. What's with the upright stone? Is it a broken stump or always like that, do you reckon? thesweetcheat Posted by thesweetcheat

It was gorgeous day, in some good old rolling hills.
Not sure about the pokey up stone, it's the one with a built in seat worn smooth by rain or behinds I don't know, but there are a number of larger stones on its circumference pointing in all directions or just fallen over, i'd like to think it was built like that, maybe a seat for relatives to sit on whilst watching over the valley and the interred.

It didn't have a plaque then? "Dedicated to the memory of [insert Bronze Age name] who loved the view from this place." thesweetcheat Posted by thesweetcheat
