I think if I ever saw the countryside of Ireland I wouldn't want to return. Also Cornwall, Brittany, the Scottish isles ...

This structure, site id 933, would be knocked down in England on the grounds that it was unsafe. My High Shield site *could* be a cove, or even a dull one of these. That Time Team 1 sq m. Dig In excavation could help determine which. It's not too difficult to simulate a gang of people and ropes with a machine - and rope. I've looked at the making-safe operations at the Sanctuary, on Pete's site, and cringed. The beginner's mistake is to set the stone straight. They *are* specialist contractors but specialising in underpinning foundations - which is nowhere near the same.

Those short stone rows, with the teeth splayed like a reptile's crest, are fascinating. Harold's Stones. Burl has paired standing stones as one of his types of Stone Row.

The weather's broken.
