Prehistoric standing stone falls over
News STV ^ | February 2, 2011 | unattributed

Posted on 02/21/2011 10:19:43 AM PST by SunkenCiv

The Carlinwell stone at Airlie, near Kirriemuir, toppled over as the snow, ice and frost from the long cold spell melted away.

The 7ft prehistoric unsculptured standing stone is situated on the crest of a knoll on a farm. Human remains were found underneath the scheduled monument at the end of the 18th century. It is one of a number of standing stones across the country.

Historic Scotland is now looking to carry out an investigative dig of the site, before reinstating the stone.

I’m very suspicious of this article. If you study the photo closely it appears the rock is right smack dab in the middle of a crop circle.........whoa!

When I lived in Lynn, MA, there is a rock formation, called “Table Rock”, a couple of hundred yards, by a very indirect route, from some property I owned on Den Quarry Road.

We used to go drinking there in my wayward youth. I was interested in History even then and the damned thing was identical to one of those Neolithic constructs scattered around Europe.

For those interested there was, by rumor, a lot of virginity sacrificed on that formation. I will post a link.
