Work to begin soon

For those who live in Cornwall.....

'Carwynnen Quoit, or Giant's Quoit, a 5,000-year-old burial chamber near Troon, collapsed in 1966.

The first stones are due to be re-erected by owners the Sustainable Trust which bought the site in 2009. The cap stone will be replaced on 21 June.

Restoration follows a series of archaeological digs to establish how the scheduled ancient monument should be reassembled.'

This is a brilliant achievement. Really must make the effort to finally go and see it.

Yeah, but did they put it in the right place ?

(That's meant as a compliment btw ;) )
