Turns out what I thought of as Henderson’s third clapper which had been converted to a culvert is in fact an entirely modern confection built with the new track to the farm and that the third clapper (to which she kindly directed me) had been used until relatively recently to carry the track used by twentieth century postie and eighteenth century packhorse alike.

As the longest day approaches our thoughts are naturally drawn to standing stones. In years gone by I have tried to include a visit to standing stones in the 216 Rideabout, but it’s an intention more honoured in the breach than the observance.

Obviously it is a pound, that much is plainly visible, but the crow part comes from the fact (hmmn) that back before the Conquest St Aniet (local saint, arguably half-brother to King Alfred) remonstrated with the local farmers who failed to attend Sunday Service on the grounds that they needed to stop up here to scare off the crows.
