Re: Try this one for size, then.

This is a tough one Bob......offhand, it could be several things. it's obviously a large, flat, heavily-weathered stone, with inscription at an angle to the rectangular, resting in a grassy area and possibly covering a hollow of some form underneath..

1) A ripped-out milestone........but I doubt it. the lettering would be to the vertical, given the stone would be half set in the ground.

2) An old gravestone...........no, lettering wrong again.

3) Possibly a covering for a well.....and the writing suggests it could say "Mary Hug? Well"....(but my eyesights knackered, so I can't be sure)...I'd plumb for something like this.

Where it is, I have'nt a clue.............it's definatly not in Church so it must be over the far east of Accy somewhere.
