Re: Strichen House's restoration by AngieLake on Friday, 06 November 2015

Just checking out the history of recumbent circles and found this on Wikipedia:

"The circle at Strichen provided a unique opportunity to test how the recumbents might have been transported. It was incorrectly restored in the 19th century by Lord Lovat, so between 1979–83 it was fully excavated and correctly restored by a team led by Burl, Ian Hampsher-Monk and Philip Abramson. The restoration required the team to move some of the stones, and it was found that the most efficient non-mechanical means of doing so was to use drag the stones along a slippery path of wet straw using logs as a kind of sledge."



Something is not right. This message is just to keep things from messing up down the road
