Well it looks very neat and tidy. But I guess in a while it'll have some plants round it. And it looks like someone's had a spirit level involved. But that's better than it falling down again. Excellent really. Now it's not a load of stones in a field but back to what it was supposed to be.

Any word from someone who was there?

Don't shoot the messenger Rhiannon please, but when I looked this morning Bladup had put up some good photos on the Megalithic Portal!

I believe our Ocifant was there! I'm certain he'll report back in full upon his return... :)

I was there - I'm chairman of the Sustainable Trust who own it and re-erected it. It's been a wonderful project because of al the community involvement and wonderful volunteers who have helped. It's been several years of hard slog getting the permissions, funding etc. but we finally have a complete quoit. The atmosphere on the day was brilliant, everyone was so keen and happy to see it go back up. I was struck by how once we got the safety fencing down everyone wanted to rush up and touch the quoit. After that we had some great singing and the performane of a ballad we'd had written about the quoit. A magic day. The quoit is open to everyone now.

Visited Friday, it's great to see the stones back up, a grand job has been done.
