I wonder that too.

I've said this before on here:

"Nothing is sacred to me."

The word 'sacred' implies religious devotion or function. I do know that most dictionaries include a usage of the word which is not religious; however, I see that as sloppy use of the word, devaluing its true intent.

Also, I fully accept that parts of the landscape could well have been sacred to prehistoric peoples. We don't know. We are guessing. We may be applying to the ancients our own view of the world. We don't know.

I don't understand why there's no category called 'stone setting' either here or on the Portal. I have seen a few of those.
