Totally understand the frustration, i was hoping to go and see the RA immediately, thing is if i don't comply with the wishes of certain people doors will close that must remain open.
There is a schedule to release more info but it's a game of waiting for EH to record the piece first, as i've said it's partly buried and the consequences of someone going along and digging the bugger up could be disastrous, what if there's further archaeology in the covering soil. ?
Last thing i wanna do is wait to an age to see a discovery like this but what can i do, it is hinted there are other unknown pieces that could come to light.

Only this afternoon i've been to see the stone that was moved from the woods to a council compound, sadly (?) there's nothing on it that i can see, bloody good job too as it's been damaged severly in the move, though i'm certain if it did contain RA it would have been handled more carefully.

Of course now i know the location i could go stomping in there, i am tempted but there are very good reasons not to, believe me.

Sorry.
