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.

Maybe it wasn't picked up on at the time, but I asked if it would be possible with modern science, to take a sample of the base of the stone to see if it originated from the West Kennet area? Presumably there would still be traces of the soil staining the stone either at its base or anywhere if previously buried.
