Talk:Stone of Morphie

Authenticity of stone?
Perhaps I'm missing something, but this stone isn't listed on any of the archaeology databases I use.

The article claims it is a neolithic menhir. This needs citation. Two of the three references cited in the article direct to the same article at the 'megalith portal'. This appears to be a piece written by a non-specialist who claims the stone commemorates a battle between the Scots and the Vikings, at which 'Camus' was slain in 1010 AD, which is somewhat later than the Neolithic period.

 * The OS map seems like a faithful and reliable source, especially as to the exact location of the stone. In fact sourcing on this page is more complete for the amount of text than 90 percent of wikipedia articles. Hadrianheugh (talk) 21:56, 10 February 2009 (UTC)
 * The OS map's reliability wasn't in question. I'm still uncomfortable with the use of the megalith portal article, as it references a fictional battle, but that could probably be dealt with successfully in an expanded WP article. Catfish Jim and the soapdish (talk) 23:37, 10 February 2009 (UTC)
