Can you get us a grid-reference for it? That'd help hugely!!!  With any luck aswell, there'll be some record of it in some of the old Church records or similar old accounts.

Any idea what's happened to it? If it's an old boundary stone then it should (he sez hopefully) be on some of the old local maps.

The stone lifted and called boundary marker has been set in concrete with a plaque describing it as a boundery stone, jane has posted pictures of it , perhaps elesewhere?
If you move your map onto cropredy it is a little black dot by the road just below where 99 is in the field where the battle sign is.
I think the stone circle was where the B in cropredy bridge is below the black dot.
The well i consider is under a building called the coal wharf by the side of the canal just over the canal bridge village side.
the canal of course would not have been there in ancient times.
The cross is wrongly positioned after a road was put in, it is only about seven feet away from where it should be, and that confirms on old maps.
the boundery stone is 12 inch out of line one way and aprox 8 feet out the other, it was found when they were digging out a drain leading to the river, but was placed close by on the road side.
those measurements are by my dowsing of course, and my opinion.
Where it was found is an ancient track now overgrown.

Thanks Hamish. Roughly here? -

Any particular reason? (PM us if you don't want it to become the usual debacle)

And it just occurred...when did "Groundsman Of The Year" become "A Lifetime Award"??
Oh of course my mistake...time is a non-event in your universe...my apologies!!

So much so he is willing to pay someone else 500 smackers to do it for him.

Maybe I notice the finer points of nature more than you...because you are "seeing the invisible"(sic) after all and following matix points..and you think all these things are only holograms too..ergo...not real!

Albertresonox,
It was a lifetime award the groundsman recieved, and a more loved cricket pitch there cannot be.
Perhaps he doesn't want to murder the fairy rings, some people are sensitive to their surroundings.
They are at the far corner of the pitch and not many people even see them, most people can't see the wood for the trees and don't notice the finer points of nature.
Do You?
I have tremendous admiration for the fungi, of course I view them from my method of looking at certain fearures, I have to be carefull when following straight paths and circuler features, as my little friends do exactly the same, the fungi that is.
If I had enough time I would plot the various types and the specific lines they are to be found on, I am sure our ancient ancestors would have known this intimately.

Mynd,
I do not travel about digging up places.Nobody asked anyone to dig anything up....and as some people believe you unconditionally...just dowsing it and giving a straight answer would satisfy them
I am fairly sure they are down there, but as it's a cricket pitch, and the groundsman won the groundsman of the year award last year, I am not going to go and dig up the pitch.
The groundsman did offer Me 500 pounds to get rid of the fairy rings, they show the part of the circle to perfection, he has tried everything but they just return.
How was the Groundsman Of The Year expecting you to get rid of this then???..And how on earth did he win this award if his green is blighted year in year out with mushroom rings?
£500..on a groundsman's wages(back to TV shows again...just rent out Rosemary & Thyme DVD..they showed successfully how to get rid of mushroom rings...oh and these things ARE researched by gardners before airing!)

Poor old Brigantia..why?...She got a reply on her thread,with a bit of tongue in cheek humour...what is infinitely worse is when someone starts quoting Doctor Who,which is a sci-fi TV series and a few films remember and how the TARDIS works,in all seriousness on a thread.
It would appear that a bit of levity is as appreciated as much as serious questions are!

Mynd,
I do not travel about digging up places.
I compare that which is detectable, and check this at countless sites, thus I have built up a recognition system.
When You are driving along a road and come to a roundabout( don't link to a magic one please)You recognise as such through building up a recognition of such.
I can do this with dowsing and thus can say where a megalithic site would possibly have been sited.
i can go much further and and ask if stones are present etc, but without digging the places up, I cannot prove that they are there or not.
With the one here in cropredy where I live, I am fairly sure they are down there, but as it's a cricket pitch, and the groundsman won the groundsman of the year award last year, I am not going to go and dig up the pitch.
I can detect where a series of outliers were positioned, but unfortunately I consider that the river course has altered and now cuts across a couple of them, they may be underwater?
The megalithic sites were positioned to interact with detectable variant sequences to do with spirals in particuler.
the actual geometry involved has a common theme but is infinately variable, fractal mandelbrot sort of sums it up.
The spirals are a consequence of this geometry where a point of least resistance is headed for along a complex series of lines, each line providing a fractionally closer route to the intended central point.
The groundsman did offer Me 500 pounds to get rid of the fairy rings, they show the part of the circle to perfection, he has tried everything but they just return.
Cropredy is the next bridge up over the cherwell river, the CHERWELL from banbury, there is very shallow gravel tracks here, the geology is important imo, I observe carefully the geology.
Many people who come to cropredy comment about how good it feels, aligned with the well position is two fault lines, one from the dassett hills, and the other from wardington up the hill, the underground water is important and symbiotic to the megaliths, i consider that the hydrogen is a carrier for the plasma that earths and them emitts spinning the opposite direction, some call this the aether, some like einstein said it didn't exist, until late in his life.
