| Issues of precedence try to fog me but it is only subtext. What came first? The kerbed cairn (as the marker would have us believe) or the circle itself to be filled in by a burial cairn, last resting place for some bronze age glitteriati, hunched double in a clay box. My money is upon the latter, if a kerbed cairn then about half of the stones are missing seemingly alternately, that would nae happen. Why nick only half the good stuff. Either way it matters not, what is obvious is that someone saw this place as a portal to elsewhere after life. Frankly its easy to see why. Forming a clear marker on the node on a boundary on sacred land, the source of food and life of love and hope. overlooking the fertile waters of the sound. resounding off the wooded hill sanctuary across the way, warmth, security. Our predeceesors must have valued what we do, there is an unbroken thread, I pootled off in my motor car.... connected, just as lost. Steg little |
