Yep. It was there for like... ages. I love historic places in UO, so I am really sad to see old locations removed (especially places from the 'original' developers).
This picture is from the time when the blackrock traders went around in Haven (thats was back in 2007?).
On Drachenfels we also had our former 'King' Casca's grave removed (not that it is of any similar importance, but...). I find that unfortunate, because once in a while I went back to Britain (it was in the gardens of Lord Blackthorn's old Castle) and spat on his last resting place... *ahem*
