    Where is Eilis and what does the stone signify? How old? You’ve piqued my interest!

      Eilis is a person… the one who left the comment, Noelle 🙂 The stone… part of my ‘ubiquitous pointy stone theory’, is in Derbyshire, close to a prehistoric stone circle and other ancient sites with which it is contemporary, I believe. Personally, I think it is a kind of totem or boundary stone. It is a very, very special place.

        Thanks, Sue. It sounds ancient and special. I felt something mysterious when I visited Stonehenge – you could still walk around in it then – bet this place is the same.

          The Derbyshire circles are visually tiny and fairly insignificant looking on the whole… but the atmosphere loses nothing by that. The place is old… in a way that needs italics to convey.

    Great mood evoked from the image and haiku Sue. There is a feeling that cannot be described when one spends time at ancient places. Here in Australia we have indigenous places that trace back up to 40,000 years and further back. Often we have been aware of the spirit of place but know nothing else about stories/history. Many , many stories were lost very quickly in the early 19th C as Europeans displaced, murdered and transmitted fatal disease to the indigenous inhabitants.

      We know little of most of the places even here. The main source of knowledge are the legends and superstitions that have come down about these places and which, when their symbolism is unpicked, give a small glimpse back oacross the millennia.
