I'm trying very hard to get KAH dated Paul but a lot of people just think it is an animal pound, albeit a 'fanciful one', as it was put to me. If I can make out a good case it may just be done. I'm working on that now. It's position in the landscape is hugely important and could hold the key. A case of wait and see I'm afraid but I'm looking at everything trying to join up all the dots.
Some work for a pound, The Stripple stones [probably the oldest circle around there] will prove it's age [to you anyway], you really need to go, it's not hard at all and the guy at the farm seemed really lovely, you'll see what i mean as soon as you get there, I promise.
Never fear it's on my list and just up the road from me and aside from Leaze the last part of the jigsaw for the time being. I no longer dash from one to the other without getting as much as I can from the previous one!
I know [and understand] that Roy but sometimes you have to go to somewhere different, especially somewhere so close and similar to learn something more about the place your learning about at the time [or are you worried that you're interest will move on to the next place?], and leaze is lovely as well.
I work in a certain way Paul but get around to all eventually as a matter of course. It can't work in any other way and has to be methodical. With regard to Stemster, well I don't see the connection. No banks and no inner lowered area, just a horseshoe arrangement of stones with an open end.
