I feel rather ashamed this one isn't on TMA - yeah I know it's more glacial erratic than druidic altar, but anything that can put up with being in the middle of the road like that deserves recognition. I think it's rather nice. I wish my village had one.

How bizarre...

I want the Ballylumford dolmen in my driveway :-)

And I've just noticed that the Pump featured the Soulbury stone a few days back!
