Nor do I think the ‘established’ archaeologists, researchers, publishing houses etc should have a monopoly on what gets into the public domain - whether that’s a book or a film or whatever. If that were the case we’d have no Standing with Stones video, no blogs or websites run by ‘amateurs’ – indeed perhaps not even a TMA...

Try lightening up a bit and read the whole content before accusing me of being misleading. I'll await your order in due course :-) "Sticking the knife in" is just the type of lurid, exaggerated response that I would expect of somebody who churns out 'books' full of wild speculation and nonsense, and indeed "sticks the knife in" regarding the archaeological community whilst standing on their shoulders. You'll be waiting a some time. I have real books to read. Charmed I'm sure. Written any of your own lately? Books? Not yet. Though just writing stuff down and sending it to a printers I could do anytime I like. Anybody can. Songs? Yes, a number. A record label paid to have some of them recorded, manufactured and distributed! Its not a competition, but it really does mean something when somebody wants to publish something you've done. Perhaps you can have that pleasure one day.

Perhaps you can have that pleasure one day. You bury yourself everytime you open your mouth. I've had 10 books published, 6 by others. Google my name, it's not secret like yours and find out. I soon learnt that you make more money publishing your own but then you wouldn't realise that because you don't research like I do. I try not to be rude to people or inflamatory but you seem to make a habit of it with me. Give it a rest would you because I won't be respoding to your rudeness further.

I'm pleased for you, that's great. You must know a bit about sheep dogs. Perhaps you should stick with it? " I soon learnt that you make more money publishing your own but then you wouldn't realise that because you don't research like I do." Oh dear god! I certainly do not research 'like you do', no. lol.

Did you not want to find out what the hole was made with before you published the book?

As I said above, (look), there's nothing wrong with self publishing per se. It's the masquerade* I steer clear of. *Bullshit

Rhiannon wrote: Did you not want to find out what the hole was made with before you published the book? No. It matters little what made the hole or when, it's what happened afterwards that I am writing about Rhiannon. I believe it was the making of the hole that caused the capstone to slip, but it may not have been, it may have been something else but the end result was the same. Whatever, the re-arrangement of the stones would have taken place after the capstone slipped. It went from a totally supported capstone on all uprights to one just supported by the front closure and one rear angled side flanker IMO. In doing so it went to show how efficient the keying on that angled flanker was to sustain the immense downward force of the capstone.
