Good on you for getting in touch with them.

It does rather highlight the point, made elsewhere, that the smaller, recumbent and/or buried stones in the Avebury area are indeed at risk of being ‘removed’ and transported elsewhere.

There’s the armrest of a bench showing in the photograph above which gives some idea of the size of the stone. It’s not impossible, but hard to believe, that it (the stone) could have been manhandled into a truck without the aid of some kind of machinery (or a block and tackle at least).
