Been wanting for many years now to get this flat rock moved up on flat ground. I managed to get it in a sled and sledded it out, so I can use it for something at some time. Would make a great headstone or engraving a home address in it for a front yard etc.. About 5 inches thick, 40 inches long by 26 inches high.

LOL!! Well, I might just make it my grave yard headstone. As far as being a grave marking isn't what it was, where it was. There is alot of rock like this around where this was but this was a nice shape etc.. This was laying flat on ground had to dug around to get it uncovered from dirt and sand.
These rocks fall from cliffs and weathered up good so edges are rounded and dull.

I repaired an old mausoleum in southern Maine some kids had vandalized. The cemetery dated back prior to the Revolutionary War. I wandered around looking at some of the inscriptions and I found one I thought was quite morbid.

"Death is a debt to nature due which she has paid and so must you."

I was up to my ankles in human remains in this thing. The center arch held the door they busted into. [Linked Image]
