[QUOTE="2manybooks, post: 625150, member: 8267"]It doesn't seem we are being very helpful here. :(;) You might have better luck contacting the local historical society or archaeological department, which might have some insight based on the history of the local abbey. A medieval art historian might recognize the symbolism of the circles within the circle. It looks like there might be some writing pecked into the top of the stone, but the photo is not clear enough to make it out. If there is, it does not seem to be the same quality as the carved circles, which might indicate it was reused at least once before being thrown into the pond.[/QUOTE]
