> So plague stones you say? I needs pics, did you get any?

Aye! I'm sure I did... I'll have a dig around to see if I cn find 'em...

I honestly thought it'd take longer! That's not bad, really, is it? Mind you, it's pretty precise work as well, innit? And I suppose they'd most likely be using andesite - or maybe antler? Or is that just silly?

Looks like I only took one pic... Will have to get along and have another look next time I'm there...
