Hi V,

Did you manage to find both of the stones i marked on the map?

Um....no, although I think Middle Barrow may be the one marked Great Urswick stone. We headed out that way but the only entrance to the field was blocked by a farmer and his livestock adn they weren't for moving! We did see it from a-far though and it was remarkably simliar in style/size to what remains of the "Priapus Stone" built into the wall.

Cheers

Hey Wolfy

Actually, looking at this map again, the site marked Great Urswick Stone appears to be pretty much in the vicinity of where the Priapus stone once stood. The only info I have is that is stood until around 1820 in the field - there wasn't anything else on the OS map which could've been this. This is also close to the area where the Great Urswick Burial Chamber is.
