Re: Holden's Farm, By Family Member by Anonymous on Monday, 12 February 2007
AS THIS FARM IS OWNED BY MY FAMILY I KNOW THAT THIS RINGCAIRN WAS ORIGINALLY FOUND UP IN THE MOORS BUT AFTER GETTING PERMISSION WE WERE ABLE TO TRANSPORT IT DOWN INTO THE GARDENS AT THE FRONT OF THE FARM FOR WHERE IT HAS STOOD FOR AROUND 7 YEARS.
