Cheers, Roy Just checking our pics and it looks like about a third of the circumference is buried with a maximum of about half the "doughnut" ring thickness below ground. This would be enough to keep it upright if it was a ring, but when you consider the human traffic that hole must get in a year (we've both been through umpteen times)and the pulling and pushing involved we'd have thought it would fallen ages ago if this was the only support. It may well have been moved "recently" as the four most obvious stones at the site (it was a stone circle) are shown in a different arrangement in our copy of Borlase's 1745 book "Antiquities Historical and Monumental". Of course there may be some "Stonehenge" style concrete hidden away below the earth. Reply | with quote | Posted by Megalithics 25th February 2012ce 17:29 In reply to: Men-An-Tol (Sanctuary) |
