Dave ,
Yes , Z 12 is partially covered cover by stone 12 and stone 12 was depicted as fallen in Wood’s plan of 1740 , so we can say that stone 12 fell some time before that and Z12 was dug before it fell ,which gives us a lot of scope .
There is a dramatic change in the radius from Z7 to Z 9 ,if Z8 really was under the sarsen it would be quite a coincidence that it should be the pit that gets covered by a fallen sarsen just where the a major change takes place in the radius .But there is a much simpler explanation which also fits in with the rest of the evidence .
Y 6,7 and 8 and to a lesser extent Y 9 are all “off” ,Y7 is the closest to the monument and monument centre .
