are there thoughts that this is a burial of a high-status, non-warrior, religious figure, maybe an important/founding druid?
Beyond saying is clearly unusual rite and involved a lot of effort, so prob high-status, not sure we can say more, alas?
Thanks! :)
enchanting; but, why? :)
Indeed....!
A wise man once told me "Never try to teach a pig to sing. It wastes your time and it annoys the pig." I've never forgotten.
Hah! Important wisdom...! ;)
Oops! For a second I read it as Scarfolk, not Scarborough.
Gorgeous !!!
