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.


Yes that is the most interesting part because if that is a fact and it is typical of an Avenue stone, then it tells us a little more...that the stones selected/shaped really meant something and weren't just random picked. Amateurs showing their worth once again!



Well, they certainly couldn't have allegedly picked a more Avebury-like sarsen if they'd spent years researching it, that stone would certainly not look out of place on the West Kennet Avenue.
