Hello, I remember seeing quite a few at Piggledene, that's one of the sources of stone near avebury.

Strikes me though that if you're determined to break some stone, and a prehistoric person has left some labour-intensively-made holes lying about, you're going to use those, not start on a brand new set. So at least at Piggledene that'd be good reason to think they're all relatively new (and besides, stones at sites round that way are entire not shaped and wouldn't have required breaking up?).

But that doesn't mean to say there aren't old examples elsewhere of course.

And I quite like the holes for their sculpturalness I have to say. though that's probably heresy.

Sympathies for the back by the way, I have been there myself.
