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.

I’m not buying the climate story. Betcha it was a bunch of teenagers out one night on a cow tipping expedition.

Human remains were found underneath the scheduled monument at the end of the 18th century.

Perhaps it was scheduled to fall at that day and time and it fell on schedule.

So what's the problem?

I don’t understand. Did they know this stone was placed over human remains or is this a discovery due to the fact that the stone fell? Seems they aught to make more of it, being that it is evidently a grave with a marker, of ancient times.

So, do they think the buried remains signify an important person or a very beloved person? I take it ‘important’ as there are prob more of these graves.

As Spock would say, ‘fascinating’.

I’m glad they’re going to put it back up - wonder if they’ll find anything under it?
