It reminds me of Browneshill dolmen near Carlow in Ireland. Huge stone. (Mind you, if that's a 5yr old...!) Still big though.

Dear AngieLake, I think my son was about nine at the time, but he has always been tall and svelte [unlike his

Thanks DocRock. It's interesting to compare a human figure with a stone, and just knowing how tall they are is an excellent way of appreciating its size. I bet he's over 6ft tall now? [Both my eldest grandsons - 16 and 19 - tower over their fathers!] Best wishes to you.

AngieLake, Yep, He's a bit over six foot and a patent attorney with a boutique intellectual property law firm in Boston--with two daughters, one who'll be five on tomorrow (October 23rd).
