    Maybe some locals helped themselves to parts of a temple when it became disused. A similar thing occured to the abbey in York after the dissolution of the monasteries. Pieces of it can be seen in peoples gardens across the city, including full window arches in a garden near the racecourse[/QUOTE]
    I think it was the ones that got offended by statues, early BLM:rolleyes:

    After seeing Hadrian's wall, I could recognize the same uniform stones in many buildings and walls in the area.
