Seen & Found

Thanks, slowburner.

On Friday morning last, I was showing two archaeologists from the NMI the find location of a stone axehead I'd found back in 2022. They believed the axehead I'd found was most likely made from shale. The other one I found in 2008 was most likely dolerite, so it's not beyond the realms of possibility that porcellanite examples may also have been present. I hear what you're saying about the size of the flake. One would expect the size of the flake somewhat more chunky if removed from a roughout. It's an interesting one. I've further information to send to the archaeologists who were here on Friday, so will send on a couple of images to see what they think. I'll keep you posted. Thanks again.

Hi all, the below has been reported to the NMS, but I'm too curious to wait to perhaps, some day, get to know what it is. Any ideas?

This is on a mountain slope that was heavily exploited for peat, but I have not seen another feature like that elsewhere. To me they look like stones, but I'm not sure, and the spread from N to S is approximately 60-70m. Each "stone" is approximately 2-3m.

I hope it's ok to post something that has already been reported.

Thanks!

This was my first thought, maybe an older folk passed on and no one wanted to interfere with his stacks, but these all seem to be on a mound, and they kinda look like stones on some imagery. I don't have a drone so I can't double check that for myself, so I just reported it as is.
