Hi,
Found this in Wales.
Could be real. Old or New. Well the stone will always be old..

Is the stone real or am I barking up the wrong tree ?
There are a few Tumuli around this site, malthern palace is close by, a couple of hill forts and Cearwent is just up the road. (Bloody Romans).

S'hard to say really. Obviously it's 'A' stone, could be prehistoric, could be a scratching post, could just be a bit of decorative stone, could of been a boundary marker. You'd have to check with CADW really, or maybe find out abut the occupant of the grave, or the history of the land on which the golf course/church is situated.
Hell, sometimes a stone is just a stone :)

Coffin lids , Romans, chimneys

Hi Ike.
The stone coffin lid you found dates from 1295.
The stone has it's own webpage.

P.S. if you think Romans sites may be slightly off topic..... check out the Bulstrode Tree Chimneys!

Fancy a coffin lid having it's very own website. I'll bet the forum is dead quiet.
If chimneys can stay, so can coffin lids from 1295 i guess.
On the website it shows carved relief the one in the graveyard at Pierre doe's not. Perhaps it was just a poor knight.
Thanks,
Ike
