[QUOTE="Dawnno, post: 625319, member: 10171"][ATTACH=full]181742[/ATTACH] I just randomly connected the dots of the blue lines, thinking they looked like a logical grouping. Looks rather runic. So I took a wild goose chase on that hunch ...

If it is a manx runestone... the cross is always at the top.
