I missed the programme, then switched over to C4+1 to see if I fancied it from half way through. Just so happened it was exactly the point Stonerowing was mentioned! I sort of hoped it would be mentioned and duly credited elsewhere. Or at the very least a clip of my arse from the Channel 5 programme of a few years back! ;)

Will have to look out for a repeat! Sounds good. :)

Part of the same brief glimpse of the show featured a hand tool found in a trench, which was reckoned to be some kind of A-Frame mounted maul to shape the stones.

I've never been comfortable with the "swinging a rock at a larger rock to dress it" method. Has this been tested by anyone to any degree of success? It just looks a bit random and cumbersome to me. Although it's entirely possible it IS the best method!

Any ideas?
