the missing tomb

Yes.

I've also discovered that the archaeological community aren't particularly interested in accepting new site finds - actually. The most extreme example I have of this is a large stone row in Smithills, Bolton. There's nine hefty boulders in a straight line ninety metres long, in the middle of a field. The CA unit has stood on the road, beside the field, looked in and said, "just three glacial erratics". (I have that in writing - plus - "if there were anything there it would have been found by now".) There's an unmarked footpath which crosses this field. Two of the stones are carved with 'grooves'. If you can find the B + W pictures of Wayland's Smithy as it was before restoration there's *another* stone row in Smithills that looks like this picture. The archaeology unit haven't even bothered with this one - a track runs beside it and it shows on the aerial photograph as a distinct skidmark. (and so on).

So TMA allows people to visit this particular site - and the half a dozen others near it - until the CA Unit get their act together.

That's unique !

i think your right the resources i found here have been invaluable to me on my many travels to ancient sites and i have seen a lot more in one area than is traditionally listed
regarding the missing tomb i got plenty of info of lancashire county council who were more than happy for me to go seek out and classify these sites which was pretty good i was supplied with two possible sites for the tombs one of which i have found found all will be posting to the msn group anglezarke moor this eve for evaluation before i post and add here, finally just a big thanks to everyone who helped me find this sight i think youll be quite impressed when you see it.
