Wonder if those findings were ever published...
Yes I remember that LS but never heard any more regarding the RC dating. The thing that really stuck in my mind at the time though was that the article I read said the leaning stone was set 10ft into the packed chalk. How on earth does something that deep get to lean if in packed chalk!!
