Manx National Heritage in conjunction with Bournemouth University organised an event to put a new stone up using the techniques we think they used in the past. This event was part of National Archaeology Day, and took place on 24th July 2002.
Some sources suggest 200 people turned up to the event, and many took an active part in either helping drag the stone across the field or raising it.
The stone was locally sourced from Billown Quarry c.300metres to the west.
There are a further two standing stones marked on the map in this same field.
