| Good news from Andy Norfolk who posted this to the stones list: I've just spent a very enjoyable day helping to put this menhir back in its proper location. This stone is at SW 726 313 near Treverva close to Constantine in Cornwall. It's a very nice Bronze Age standing stone which was uprooted by a farmer in 1992. He was apparently concerned that is was Pagan and as a devout Methodist felt he didn't want it to stay. After a public campaign we started locally he re-erected it close to a hedge - and then covered it with chicken wire and encouraged ivy to grow over it to hide it. Someone else recently bought the farm and agreed to have the stone put back where it belongs. A team of volunteers - including many from Cornwall County's Historic Environment Service - excavated the site of the stone, dug out the stone from by the hedge and lowered it into place with a crane. It looks really good! So that's a nice little success story. Cheers Andy N ------------------------ FYI, The Werg is a former incarnation of mine on TMA!
