I visited this stone in October 1995 as part of my search for magnetic stones. In spite of what went on before then, so well described above, I could not find any trace of magnetism with a hand held compass. This was not an easy job because of the height of the stone, the undergrowth around it and possible interference from the fencing around. I may have missed something but I don’t think so. To do the job properly a conversation with the farmer, a prior recce and a stepladder are required. Don’t know what Balanovsky and Taylor were finding but evidently it was not the permanent ferromagnetism that I was looking for.
Something is not right. This message is just to keep things from messing up down the road
