| An embanked stone circle restored. Restored? It doesn't feel right. It might be exactly right, and it is me that is out of kilter, but again again again it doesn't feel right. More reminiscent of hut circles on Holyhead and in Cornwall, I imagine a conical thatched roof over my head and a secular purpose: the moot-hall for tribal chieftains, or the place to give tribute to the overlord. But not a sacred space. Then again: there is definitely signs of a cist, covered by a cup-marked stone, so no doubt at some time at least one of our ancestors was buried here. But too puzzling. Too restored. Not right. |
