Apparently work was not started there until almost the end of the digging season, but on Tuesday 19th Sept the diggers found what appears to be a stone socket with some organic material within it, and rumour has it that another socket has also been found.

Samples sent for C14 dating might show when the stones were in position and when they were removed or fell over. Nobody should be surprised by any of this -- there are two very large recumbent stones and a smaller one visible on the surface at Waun Mawn, which might well have been upright at some stage. So there will be sockets and there will be organic materials within them. There is also a very fine standing stone. As pointed out in previous posts, the stones might be on the circumference of a very large circle.
