| Thanks for the Lordenshaw 3 info. The pictures don't show off the other marking too well. "Just because North British basins are occurring with c&rs it doesn't mean to say that Irish Bullauns are of a similar age." Not strictly true. The two cultures of the time are very closely linked, if not the same. "I'm afraid that your gonna have to find an Eel Stone in Ireland before you can start comparing contexts." That is still a necessity for absolute certainty. "As for dating these basins to the Neolithic, your assuming that our c&r's are Neolithic too. That is something that we cannot say with any certainty. C&Rs could possibly have a time span starting in the Mesolithic and finishing who knows where." I wasn't using the C&Rs to push them back to the Neolithic, just further back in time to probably the LBA. The wedge tomb at Burren in Leitrim has a reused C&R stone in its roof, making that particular one pre 2500 bce.
