8. Re: Carburrow propped st by Anonymous

16. Re: Seahenge by Bladup
The map ref was off Heritage Gateway about the excavation, I thought the same as you about that post marking the site, It was total guesswork from myself when i was there, I should really do this rese...
17. Re: Seahenge by TheCaptain
Hi Paul. Did you get this gridref from a source from the excavation, or is it for the place you visited (as I did) and thought might be the original place? I note that your position equates to the sam...
