Two interesting images you conjure there, Phoenix. Think I feel a rhyme

"The site was rediscovered by workmen digging for limestone in 1781" - probably not your John, but if he were in the area, I bet he went to gawp.

And rhyme away, bard of the boards;)

I'll bet he did - it was probably the event of the decade around there.
