| Abstract: |
The evaluation involved the re-erection of a single, fallen standing stone. The area around the original ground base was excavated and recorded in advance, no finds were recovered. The area had been disturbed during previous archaeological work. The stone socket itself was oval shaped and north-south orirentated. Adjacent to the stone was a small patch of metalling consisting of small stones set in clay. For safety reasons, the stone was socketted into a large granite base stone and set flush back into the ground. The original hedge which the stone had been set against was 'reshaped' in order to gain a better view of the monument which was subsequently noted as appearing more phallic in nature. [Au(adp)] |
