When we arrived at this there were three local kids sitting on the bench beside it. I got out of the car and started to take pictures. One of the kids asked me why I was taking pictures of the ‘bird-bath’. I explained that it was an ancient stone, probably carved well over two thousand years ago only to be met with a vacant stare and an “Oh”, followed quickly by all three heading off.
