Hang on a minute,
I agree that it's a modern thing but as to it's suitability for TMA?
If it's not suitable for TMA why did you post it?
I would suggest you posted it for the same reason that I posted a picture of it. It's a beautiful megalithic oddity which sits amongst other oddities and shows a continuity of use of Stanton Moor and it's many rocks.
It is a lovely eccentricity and to cull it would be a shame.

stubob in his notes for row tor mentions Thomas Eyre who built the chapel there; it says at Stanton moor.co.uk http://www.stantonmoor.co.uk/prehistoric_birchover2.htm
that the chair's been called 'Thomas's Chair' but then again it might have nothing to do with him. It claims that the chair was just 'improved' from a natural rock basin. So maybe people have been parking their bottoms there for a long time.. Especially if it was once a bit less skewif as the article suggests.

Ok with that kind of vagueness you could have most anything on TMA. And without it, you wouldn't have hardly anything. So I say (hmmm) oh go on, keep it. Assuming it's not totally man-made and at least partly natural.
