Ancient stones are fragile? They are in me hoop. How are we defining ancient? These bed wetters seem to think a couple of thousand years is ancient. Lower Carboniferous rocks, which make up more than half the country, are about 300,000,000 years old. Unless the rock is made of shale or something equally stupid to be using as a lifting stone, it's not falling apart because Jim Bob looked sideways at it.

“Ancient stones are fragile and susceptible to serious damage when dropped,” said the joint statement. “The surrounding soil can also be damaged by this practice.”

LOL, the soil

Yer man was clearing out gorse and shit with a slashhook to get at a few of them

most of stones have been idle and forgotten about for 80 years or more and now they're getting precious.

We're not talking about the Ardagh chalice here. Absolute fun police.

i was looking at indiana stones’ website there. he has a whole page dedicated to the etiquette of it all including not dropping it and placing it back exactly as it lay. ffs, it’s not like he’s taking the jcb out to a dolmen and braking it down for a bit of lifting. he’s serious about what he’s doing and equally serious about lads not going out and acting the bollocks.
