It was from a Prairie Preservation site up North Some where. It's maybe 12-14 X 20 inches. As far as marking the stone, I am not going to mark it. I am going to Photograph it, record the names and dates, Then measure to the nearest Fixed stone, and then lean the pieces (There are no Bases Visible on 3-4) up against that so the mower doesn't run over it and do more damage. If one is Broken and has a base, I will lean the Piece against it out of the way. If there is no Fixed stone close, I will record everything on the stone Move it to the closest stone I can, and then Record which stone it is placed at. w Before I walk off with the stone, I move it about 6 inches over and place the Stake where the stone was located. I paint the top of a 2 x 2, 7 inches long with Orange Day Glo Paint (Florescent), take a heavy hammer and drive it down to about one to one and a half inches above the ground (or Flush) After the mowing I retrieve the Stone, remove the Painted stake and lay the stone exactly where it was. Write down everything you do. Keep all of the measurements and Information, how long ? That is up to you. Common sense will guide you thru this. I hope I answered your Questions.! Jack E.
