Any easy way to determine their ancient provenance is to simply measure the diameter and to express this in megalithic inches - if it is an integer then you can be pretty sure they are ancient. My problem is with the holes which are artificial, but oval or boat-shaped - just what are they about?


Measure is not a good method for providing dates for prehistoric artefacts , particularly when the recommended measure itself is a fiction . The vast majority of British rock art motifs and engravings do not conform to the MI and an even greater number of modern artefacts that clearly have nothing to do with it , coincidentally do .
