The Hurdy Stone

For NeoAncients, L-13 Light Industrial Workshop (Jimmy Cauty, Jem Finer and Steve Lowe) set the Hurdy Stone – a 2.5 tonne megalith of four hundred million-year-old Welsh slate – into the earth at Rattle and Brash, on May Day 2026.

As the Flower Moon rose and the crane lowered, the Hurdy Gurdy lay-line was activated between the Hurdy Stone and its counterpart, the Gurdy stone (stood in 2023 in East Sussex), to mark the 50,000-year return of the Green Comet.

The machines received the blessing of the good people of The Museum of Roadside Magic whilst Tree Carr ceremonially invited the earth to accept the stone.

This is just a holding page while we make a more comprehensive one about the stone and its planting in the earth.

The stone is in a private field and so it’s not possible to simply rock up and visit it. If you would like to come and see it though, the best thing to do is to join our mailing list and look out for Hurdy Stone events..
