Sarsen stone beneath the floor of Alton Priors Church. Notice the hole in the stone. Earlier antiquarians would interpret that as a "Druidic Chalice" Is it a natural stone in a field full of such stones or is it part of an earlier sacred site?
Another sarsen stone is beneath a trap door at the front right of the church.
