The Long Man's Grave "Traditionally the grave of a suicide, or perhaps the victim of a murder; according to Hunter, that of Macbeth. The tumulus when examined, however, proved to be a 'druidical stone' that had toppled over. Nothing was found to support these traditions."

"This grave is marked by a stone slab, 0.5m wide and 1.8m long, lying flush with the ground on the grass-verge of the road and with the modern stone dyke over-riding one end. This stone is probably a 'grave slab' and not a "standing stone" which has toppled over. There is no evidence of a cairn or tumulus."

Collace Quarry Manufacturing &amp;quot;a range of asphalt mixes&amp;quot;. 

So, they&amp;#039;re basically like a chef in a kitchen, whipping up different asphalt mixes like it&amp;#039;s nobody&amp;#039;s business. And get this, they even follow the EN standards! They&amp;#039;ve got it all - hot rolled asphalts, asphalt concretes, stone mastic asphalts, pre coated chips, and even cold mix for base/binders. It&amp;#039;s like a fancy asphalt buffet, all up to code and ready to go. Who knew asphalt could be so gourmet?

With weaving as their former ace
Farming and quarrying too
And villages that grew
