Re: Fire reveals moor's stone legacy

I've been biting my tongue about this stone for a while - I'm originally from Ravenscar, I thought I knew Stow Brow Moor like the back of my hand, and I was astonished at the amount of stuff that the fire revealed, in addition to the barrow kerb. I've got some photos I'll try and get posted up asap, both of the stone and some of the other features that have emerged (for instance, a barrow with a low rubble surrounding wall and entrance pathway).

It was on the front cover of the Times today, I hope that doesn't send too many people up on the moor trying to find it, as 1) it's been reburied and unless you know which barrow to dig in, you're unlikely to find it and 2) the fire was extremely bad and the moor surface is in a very poor condition.

Anyway, I'll try and get my shots posted when I get time.

Waes Hael,
