Small world indeed! The Rev Skinner's drawing is apparently in the British Museum, according to the EH/RCHME site record. I presume (without checking) that this info comes from Grinsell, probably the barrow lists in the VCH volume 1. However, assuming I haven't got my Skinners in a twist, I believe that the collection of the Rev. John Skinner, Rector of Camerton, Somerset is actually in the British Library (http://www.bl.uk/).

Thanks, I'll check the Rev Skinners drawings out.
My father in law left a huge amount of antiquarian material in storage when he died. (He was a Doctor but his father was another Rev)
The battleAxe keeps promising to let me have access to it one day.
Apparently there is a huge rolled up drawing of a plan of Callanish amongst the papers and boxes of black & white photos of sites he took himself.
Here's a photo I took of the Fox Covert area last December.
It would have been a good site for a henge but I can't see any sign of it.
