Granite indeed. And bring on the vinegar puns. Btw there's no way I'm going to apologise for the acerbity of my remarks.
Well, I couldn’t agree with you more Rhiannon. Perhaps I wasn’t being very clear. What I meant is that if you can get past all the loopiness what you’re left with is a record of a stone being ‘removed’ from a ‘sensitive’ area and taken elsewhere. That’s the bit which I thought may be of interest.

Roy, have read this thread with interest and was going to made the same point as you. If the stone was taken from within the boundaries of the World Heritage Site then surely English Heritage/National Trust are obliged to sue these people for its return. From the description of its original location its sounds as though it may well belong to the WHS.
E-mail the NT/EH a link to the website, maybe grab a few screenshots. ;)
Off the website:
During a question and answer session that she attended weekly Hanne found out that the spot was an interdimensional Gateway of Grail Energy that had been capped. There were beings waiting to communicate from a higher level, to release once again the old esoteric knowledge that had been withheld from man/womankind for thousands of years for fear of misuse by the negative forces.
Yep, that would be right :-)

Note to self. Never overestimate the tma forum.
I can't tell any more if it's trolling or someone's genuinely crass opinion.

You know I'm one of your biggest fans Rhiannon but don't quite get this comment. I thought it was quite a serious thread for once, hadn't descended into bickering or dare I say it, puns. The puns are very clever but they do get in the way sometimes. I think anyone reading the original link posted by LS would agree the people in question are looney tunes ... and we want our stone back :)

Sanctuary's remark about Mencap, June. That's what I'm talking about.
(not anything to do with the ascerbic vinegar puns. That was earlier. That wasn't funny either but there you go.)
Anyway, meh. I'm taking my own advice now.

Hi there,
Thanks to Littlestone for this important thread.
I've just checked with an online pdf and "West Kennet" which is mentioned at the Bosham page is indeed well within the Avebury WHS, thus the removal of this stone - if unauthorised - would surely constitute a violation of the Heritage Site. Secondly, there are other properties at this location but if the removal occurred within the grounds of West Kennet Farm this is a Grade II listed building and the removal of a sarsen stone from it would presumably need to be authorised by English Heritage or at the very least Wiltshire County Council, was this done? Thirdly, West Kennet (Kennett the older spelling, so either is ok) is on a direct line of the presumed course of the megalithic avenue so this would not just be any old piece of sarsen lying so close to a prehistoric feature. Even if it were incidental it ought to remain 'in situ' just in case it represents a missing part of the wrecked avenue jig saw puzzle.
For the WHS plan:
http://www.wiltshire.gov.uk/whs-avebury-whs-leaflet.pdf
With regard to the possible symbolic pairing of the avenue stones - Aubrey Burl, ‘Prehistoric Avebury’ (2002) page 76: Alexander Keiller and Stuart Piggott had noted that “along the rows of the [West Kennet] avenue ... the ... long thin pillar and a broader diamond [shape perhaps] ... denoting male and female symbols ... a fertility cult ... one of the first objective interpretations of what Avebury might have been used for”.
The fact is that now in the light of the alleged Bosham Stone incident I think that no fallen or buried stone at Avebury is safe and all the known buried stones (quite a few) should be carefully and scientifically raised where they can be visually accounted for and remain unmolested and relatively safe.
Bests,
Ric
