(2008-06-22) | Hi sem - we looked at the line of stones going up the hillside today, and they are certainly a striking feature - as you say, they would each look massive if the quoit itself wasn't there! Looking at the site from across the bay though, I think there may be a fairly 'natural' explanation, as all the stones alongside the quoit seem to be a natural fault line.
The line immediately alongside the quoit actually seems to continue both down the slope to the sea, and upwards over the hill - I will post some pictures to show what I mean. | pab
(2009-02-08) | sem - another picture posted today to explain what I meant - one of the few benefits of the weather being a chance to sort out old photos! |
