Thought we could do with a little light diversion...
I know, it's not ancient, but it is stone and from what I've seen in the photograps here, http://www.derelictplaces.co.uk/main/showthread.php?t=11187
it holds a fair bit of symbolism. If nothing else, it's a tribute to a great eccentric, it may have been inspired by Gaudi or even Tolkien, who knows? I'd be very tempted to restore it and live in it.
Anyone have any local knowledge?

I think we should all club together and buy it, do it up and have it as a Mysteries timeshare holiday home
