Moving a stone

The original stone is on the move to St.Fagan's Open Air Museum, to be part of a new exhibition, here is a description of its removal....

What worried me reading Culture24 was that they seem to say it was the tomb being removed, but no after further research it was only the stone...

Replying to moss

Interesting news, Moss. St Fagins is great, I'm sure all the lovely prehistoric stuff will be right at home there. The new exhibition will be a good excuse to go back.

(mmm and do not miss the bakery with their delicious scones. All in the name of bringing history to life of course, nothing to do with gluttony.)
