Don't bounce too hard on it!( real stabin the dark - if it is a shaft, not memorials to an accident in times past? There were a few in that area weren't there? None of your kit down there is there Cardi??))

the actual stones look like they've been there for hundreds of years, moss green, slanted. If ya get there before me take a photo to put on here. strange. There's a large church on the other side of the main road, bit far away though to be part of that.

Still a problem posting pictures - you were lucky with these - but hang onto any for later if they fail!
