CL wants to erect a huge stone monument in memory of Lord Dunstatville [Francis Basset: Baron de Dunstaville of Tehidy and Baron Basset of Stratton. 1757-1835] on Craggy hill opposite his house: 'a wild and vulnerable crag unsuited to a precious pillar or work of civilised man, but affording huge masses of stone to erect what may be seen at a distance'. Can WW give advice on how to build it.
