That's it - oolitic limestone - the chunky stuff. Heavy, dense material. It's pretty exciting thinking a piece (alright, two pieces) of Stonehenge has turned up after all these years. I believe that yellow lichen is called Xanthoria; aged hippy wool spinners will recall using it as a natural dye. It also suggests that Berwick St James has very good air.
