An update on the work that was carried out last summer. It does make you realise all the formalities that have to be done before even a megalithic site can be highlighted and restored to some degree - all to the good, and I hope the next undertaking will go just as well Roy.

Thank you moss, I hope to have some news shortly.

That all seems exciting. Are there plans to raise the re-exposed stone mentioned the below passage from your article?

"There is something very special about re-exposing a buried stone that you know was once part of what we possibly perceive as being a ‘ritualistic or ceremonial’ monument and once likely to have been last handled by our great ancestors some 4,500-5,000 years ago! We often refer to these stones as being ‘sacred’ and I have to admit to feeling a tingle when they first see the light of day again and always hope that they are not too deep to leave exposed once recorded. They were meant to be seen and although no longer all standing are nevertheless there for our wonderment and why we as a group find great pleasure and privilege in re-exposing them at any given opportunity."
