Thanks for this Ric.

I suspect the Grade II listing is unlikely to be relevant, unless the stone was part of the building or a recognised (i.e. recognised by the listing body) part of the landscaping.

I must admit, having read this thread, I don't know what restrictions being within the WHS boundary has on things like removing a sarsen stone, if it's just part of the natural drift (and at the moment it's not clear whether that's all it was). Are we assuming the sarsen (whatever its status) was on the land of the people who "supplied" it? Or did they take it from someone else's land?

Stupid people though, surely they should have gone to Cornwall if they wanted granite? I reckon one of those big stones at Trethevy would have been just the job.
