No, Suzanne never got to any of my sites. She got very near to where the stone circle at Hexham had been, but on the other side of the river.

It's actually you and a guy called Howard (Ironman), from Darwen, that's visited the sites. You in the north and he in the south. I don't think he got to the rows, just to the perforated stones which have been used as gateposts, and a couple of ring cairns. And George and TomBo got to the rectangular henge at Kirkhaugh - they were both sure it was the side of a road. This was before I'd spotted the 75m diameter circle that enclosed it - even the county archaeologists recognised that.

But it's these Bolton stone rows that nobody has been to see. It's taught me a lot about human nature and what a worthless bunch of posers we are. If a chimpanzee shares 98.2% of the human genes then the sheep must share about 97%. And that's it really.
