An Ancient Stone
In a strange tale of how life comes full circle, an amateur historian found a long lost stone that he was looking for in his own backyard. Stephen Davis and his friend Clare Forbes set out to find the ancient “Horestone” after the former learned about it when he researched the history of his own home.
The stone was thought to have marked a burial plot from the Bronze Age dating back to 2500 B.C. The last reference to the stone was made in a tax document in 1636. The two had no real hopes of finding it so imagine their shock when it was discovered in Davis’ own backyard completely covered in ivy!
