Re: Prehistoric stone row - or collapsed modern wa

The stones that are in their original sockets are all paired. The gap between them is too small to have allowed a person to pass. I don't agree about excavation providing final proof, for me that rests in the alignment of the stones. It is to be expected that Boltonians create objects that are unusual and weird. I don't agree about only a few monuments being lost - I think their are a lot of undiscovered stone monuments, particularly in the Pennine uplands.

They are undiscovered because nobody has ever taken the trouble to look for them. (This is what irks me about having sites deleted - when they're rubbed off the database then nobody can even hope to find them). Burnt Edge eg and Thurstones eg. They are also unlike other sites that I know but that must be a better reason for keeping them listed.
