"It was an overcast morning, but the rain had stopped so John King and Mike Anderson worked at the OBG Thursday, August 10th. We decided, due to the wet grass, we would primarily identify stones in need of repair, those in need of re-mounting in their bases, and those needing re-aligning so that on our next visits we would know what stones to focus on."

"We played "complete the jigsaw puzzle" on many of the stones, searching for the missing parts (with much success) and we even tackled a couple small box tombs - finding the pieces of the base that had slid off or that were hidden around it."

"Join us next time and hopefully we can make some repairs to the 12-15 stones we flagged for our next few work sessions."

"We found the missing triangular piece to this stone (middle, left) and placed all three components together to see how they fit.

We will soon get it repaired and once it is cleaned it will be a beautiful monument."

"Walls uncovered and positioned for this small box tomb. Once put back together it will look very nice. Notice the beveled ends of the sides and end walls."
