THIS REEKS OF SUSPICION.!WHY WAS IT NECESSARY TO REFER TO DORSET AT ALL IF,AS IS CLAIMED, THERE WAS THEN ONLY ONE PORTLAND?IT WOULD SEEM THAT "DORSET" WAS LATER ADDED TO THE INSCRIPTION IN ORDER TO OBFUSCATE THE TRUE ORIGIN OF THE CHERT.I HAVE JUST NOW HELD COUNCIL WITH THE EMMINENT PROF. DE SELBY KEEPER OF ARTEFACTS AT NEWGRANGE.AFTER MUCH RESEARCH HE HAS UNEARTHED SOME HEADLINES FROM NEWS MEDIA OF THE DAY ,IN PARTICULAR "THE PALOLITHIC OBSERVER" AND I QUOTE FROM THE REGIONAL NEWS SECTION-- "MARAUDERS OF UNKNOWN ORIGIN LAY SIEGE TO PEACEFUL SHANNONSIDE VILLAGE---.PORTLAND AWAKES THIS MORNING TO SCENES OF CARNAGE AND DESOLATION -- PRECIOUS CHERTS AND MANY STATE OF THE ART UTENSILS STOLEN --MAUREDERS ROUTED AND FLEE FOLLOWING BRAVE OFFENSIVE BY PORTLAND NEIGHBOURHOOD WATCH"AT THAT TIME THE UK AND IRL WERE CO-JOINED FORMING ONE LAND MASS THE EXACT SHAPE OF A SAUSAGE.IT IS PROF DE SELBYS THEORY THAT THE MARAUDERS
FLED EASTWARDS LEAVING BEHIND THEM SOME OF THE BOOTY IN OVERNIGHT      SITES.MANY SUCH CHERTS HAVE BEEN FOUND ON EASTWARD    EXCAVATIONS BETWEEN GALWAY AND WEXFORD ON THE S,E IRISH COAST AND REMARKABLY "MADE IN PORTLAND " IS THE ONLY INSCRIPTION YET FOUND.INTRPOL FILES OF THE DAY WOULD SUPPORT THIS SMOKE-SCREEN ADD IN DORSET THEORY
