Description
A prone block of sarson stone lies in an arable field, in crop when visited. It is shown on Richard Colt-Hoare's map of Stonehenge of 1810 (RCHME 1979, plate 1). It may have been placed here in the prehistoric period and be a fallen standing stone. The nearest other sarsen is that found within Woodhenge during the excavations in 1926-28 (Cunnington 1929). The coin hoard 117,719 indicates that the stone was a marker in the Romano-British period.
