... a sea of stones that have been displaced by burials

Against all precedent, my morning was brightened by an item on the Today programme.

Not only has a new prize been announced, which will give serious money each year to an artist to create a work somewhere in the UK that is free for the public to visit, the first award goes to Andy Goldsworthy.

... a sea of stones that have been displaced by burials

When we buried Autolycus, we built his cairn of the stones that came up in the digging. (It's New England, so the stones we have added on each visit since have just been lying around.) I like the idea of this artwork a lot.

Yes, this. It sounds as if the soil of Dumfries and Galloway may not be quite as rich as stones, but it's the same idea...
