Holed Stone

Fieldnotes

Visited 06/11/01CE.

After hearing about the damage that this site endured last year, I was pleasantly surprised to find it in pretty good condition, though as I haven't been here before I've got nothing to compare it to.

Completely unsheltered, we huddled up against one of the outlying stones and read a little in Cooke's "Journey To The Stones" book. After hearing of its' supposed healing properties, Abbie stuck her foot in the holed stone to see if the pain in her toe would go away (she claimed it actually did, though admitted later it was only very temporary, and probably more due to taking the weight off it than anything else!).

The ground around the stones was waterlogged so I decided not to try crawling around it and through the hole nine times on this visit, maybe next time.
