More than 7 years since this appeared in the Salisbury Journal but it may be of interest. The last lines read, “The recovery of preserved organic material from soil samples during the excavations will enable radiocarbon dates to be taken. For the first time the Cove will be able to be dated by modern methods.”

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!!
