I found a possible cup-marked portable stone recently, and last night the Man Stan himself came to inspect it, and declared it Most Likely!

I found it on a beach on Lindesfarne, and lugged it a mile back to the car, as there was no way I was leaving it there. He reckoned it may have been washed there from Scotland...!

Will post more details on TMA soon.

.o0O0o.

PS Thanks to some people on here who I have asked stupid questions to, I was being a bit mysterious(sorry!)

Oooh yer lucky bugger!

Can you tell us what sort of size it is or any more about it? I’m never quite sure what qualifies as a ‘portable’ or not. There are many stones on Rombald’s that could be lifted and spirited away by a couple of people or one person with lifting gear (I’m surprised they haven’t been). I wonder how big a stone has to be before it stops being a portable and just becomes ‘not earthfast’
And what was the legendary Stan like – I have an image of him having a fondness for cups of tea and cake ;-)
