[Stones] Herefordshire stone serpent

[Tim P]

Burnt stone... tangential thoughts:

Tenuous wondering:
I'm also thinking of Vitrified Hillforts where stone ramparts were 
subjected to fire to strengthen them.
( Such as this http://www.megalithic.co.uk/article.php?sid=5952  ; there 
is an example at Caer Euni N of Bala, W of Corwen )

Perhaps not so tenuous wondering:
I am reminded of the vast neolithic enclosure at Gardom's Edge in the 
Peak District where the lengthy and wide stone wall was set on fire 
(cue: anyone reading who was on John Barnatt's walk here a few years ago 
who can give more detail? The project website strangely omits this fact.)
