That's the point I was trying to make yesterday Roy, but my throwaway Trethevy remark probably cost me seriousness points :) - what are the restrictions?

There's a lot of sarsen drift all over the downs, does the WHS status prohibit any moving or interference with any of it, or is it limited to stones that are clearly (or even speculatively) part of "something"?


I don't know for certain but would imagine there are restrictions on moving stones from within the World Heritage Site (am sure I could find out if no one else does). Like you said there are hundreds of stones lying around in the valley of Fyfield Down and Lockeridge Dene, again I don't know what the restrictions are, if any. Fairly certain someone could sell a sarsen from their own land with a certain amount of impunity. The point of the original post was that the stone in question bears a marked similarity to the West Kennet Avenue stones and therefore may be a lost part that ancient monument.
