Welcome! Be careful not to be too specific about the location of the house or the bunch of us on this side of the Pond may descend on it....
I did look at those sections on the PAS site. It is the construction & heft of the ring that indicate to me it is post-Medieval, oldest. I have...
I did not see this at the time, & did not notice it's a revival, not a new thread. Was ready to put in my 2 cents, pretty much agreeing with...
