Hi, I'm trying to find where these both are, I'm heading up for a look around at the weekend, but was trying to find grid reference or directions to both of these. Any help much appreciated.

Hi Craig

From memory, the landowner's not keen on people posting location/directions on public websites. This may have changed over the years, but just in case, email me and I'll give you a Google Maps link! :)

Chance has just put a couple of photos of an axe from the Keiller Collection which may have once graced/grazed the pollisoir stone....

and there is also other evidence in his fieldnotes for other stones being reused along the Avenue and the Outer circle; that is of course if they are being 'read' correctly by the archaeologist...
