The papers have been full of it -- even the Sun, the Daily Mail and the Telegraph. The ancient standing stone called Bedd Morris (which may or not be all that ancient) has been broken off by somebody who hit it with a truck or a tractor and who then (so we are reliably informed) "sped off into the darkness." Very sad. So there it was, broken off and lying at the roadside, causing no end of fun and games, and causing the National Park, the Town Council, Cadw, Uncle Tom Cobbley and all to make statements to the press and to vow that it would be repaired and restored to its rightful place.
Now the NPA has apparently taken it away to a secret location for safekeeping, and before it is bedded in concrete the archaeologists are going to have a little look to see if there is anything interesting in the hole where the stone should be standing.
Watch this space for further exciting reports......
