The door stone is now quite brutally bolted to the enlarged enterance, I had a good look at it when I was there on the solstice as there were no guided tours and you could have a good look around, its not carved in any way on the front and sides as far as I could see. One thing is for sure, this stone ain't movin' for the foreseeable future. I'm fairly certain its not carved on the side thats hidden, I was there with a guy who had been in the 50's when it was used mostly for grazing cattle and I heard him remark that even then the doorstone looked so plain compared to the enterance stone.

This is the best photo I have of it, cropped from a much larger photo of the enterance...
