I think these may have been drilled to take gunpowder, which was then set off like a firecracker. Before TV was invented, like.	Posted by thesweetcheat 12th August 2011ce


Ahaa! That fits in with the story of the farmer then who tried to destroy it and his attempt to build a cow shed on the same site, hence the five pillars next door. And we think we live in exciting times.......	Posted by A R Cane 13th August 2011ce


No, they're decoration, by the original builders. The hole will not be truly round, as it would be if it had been drilled recently.	Posted by StoneGloves 13th August 2011ce
