Do you buy it ?
It doesn't have the falsifiability that the suggestion about the avenue did .

What about the other stones ?


I don't really buy it but it can't be proven or disproven as far as I can see. It's a nice bit of mythology but lacks any earlier corroboration in folklore that I've heard of.



That's it , unlike the Avebury case, which can be disproven , you can only shrug your shoulders , " maybe , maybe not ".

But even if if there was historic corroboration , it would only be a slightly earlier version of the 20 th C folklore , giving us an insight into how punters thought of the site in the middle ages or later .
