A return to the “Cup and Rings” site. We were last here in July 2014 when we
unearthed another cup and ring stone. This resulted in work being halted whilst
English Heritage were consulted.

The tape measure is extended to
12" to indicate the size
|
The advice from English Heritage is that the stone
should now be built into the wall.
Today’s team consisted of Barry, Catriona, Graham,
Paul, Richard H, Roderick and Tony. . We were also supported by Phil Dolphin
(Master Waller) courtesy of the Upper Nidderdale Landscape Partnership. Phil will be providing advice and
guidance on our walling technique.
Our task is to create two wall ends, leaving a
sufficient opening to allow cattle to pass through. This hopefully will divert the cattle away from the current gap
which has the exposed “cup-and-ring”
stone.

A start is
made on defining the line of the wall

The ““cup-and-rings” stone is ready to be placed in the wall

The two wall ends begin to take shape under the watchful eyes of Phil

| At close of play |
