<p>[QUOTE="say_it_slowly, post: 3619, member: 50"]It sounds like a lovely area steeped in history. I did see you mentioned limestone. I'll never claim to know much about geology but I have spent some time doing archaeology in Texas (US of course). The area we were working was a gathering spot for early people due in part to the abundance of chert for working into stone tools. The chert deposits there are found in the limestone but then I've got no idea of what might be found in your area. One of these days I'm planning to come poke around England/Scotland a bit so maybe I'll have to have a look for myself <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/biggrin.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":D" unselectable="on" />. I love rocks![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
