Re: Fire reveals moor's stone legacy
Dec 22, 2004, 11:14
The stone is part of a kerb and only the very top was exposed, some carving had been noticed on the top but as the cairn is a scheduled monument no-one touched it. Carvings are not uncommon in this area, well over 100 have been found within a square mile of this one.
One day a walker came along, noticed the carving and partially dug the stone out, which was very naughty and a bit illegal, fotunately the walker had the good sense to inform someone of her find.
Following this permission was obtained from EH to partially excavate the cairn and completely uncover the stone.
A portion of the cairn was excavated, recorded including laser scanning of this stone and another that was found, laser scanned and then reburied.
