Go the whole way and raise the fallen Stone 7 to its upright position, thereby restoring the quoit to full working order. Air bags could do it, or archeologists.


And where exactly would you raise it to? It's 8' 6" long in a 5' 10" opening height to stand just within the existing rear side stones!!
This site needs extensive surveying to work out exactly where it stood, was it earthbound, was it intended to be a rear closure and are all the other side stones in their correct positions. Something is not right and needs sorting, hence my resaerch work taking place.
