You may think as a dowser I would applaud this, and if the stone had been obtained from a quarry, or from a pile of glacial erratics I might do, but from West Kennet??????

I may go and bosh them, and bring it back.

Yes not good I agree, perhaps Pete G knows something about this, he seems to know every stone in the vicinity!

Seems perfectly reasonable to me , considering .
“whirling vortex of energy “at “the spot was an interdimensional Gateway of Grail Energy that had been capped. “
”The Golden Heart that beats at the centre of all the true religions of the world. The Bosham Stone had come home. “
Who could fail to be impressed and comply ?

There could be a "whirling vortex"
But,
As the whole methodology of WHY the stones were placed in the specific locations is not presently known, I find it incredible that anyone so obviously claiming to know what the stone can achieve would go and possibly nick one from a location where the said stone may be of vital importance to eventually identifying the very reasoning behind their specific locations.
I think a raiding party should be organised to re-locate the stone from where it was taken, and then tell a tale about it moving itself on a full moon??

I agree. It's all well and good doing good works, but responsible sourcing of the materials is paramount. Just because a new piece is expensive, surely it doesn't justify picking a stone out of a field in an area known for its megalithic significance. No mention is made of payment to the landowner for the stone, only for its transport.
Are there sarsens of this size just laid around in fields surrounding West Kennett as it intimates in the article, or was the stone they moved ever recorded? As stones go, it's not very big, but that's not the point. Also, sarsen isn't granite, it's a form of sandstone, who knows what they actually picked up?
"By further dowsing I found out that the piece of granite needed was to be four and half foot tall and between twelve and eighteen inches across. A piece that size would cost £390 plus VAT! Inspiration struck: Pete and Jude Stammers lived a stones chuck from the Avebury Stones and these sarson stones were to be found in fields around their house in West Kennet. I phoned Jude and explained the position. She phoned back the next day to say that she had found the Bosham Stone!
Our next problem was raising the £235 needed to carry the Bosham Stone for the 300 miles round trip. With pledges from my two Earth Healing groups plus the 'Friends of Bosham House' we not only raised the cash but what was left over paid for the special Healing Seat that Seriph had indicated.
On the 7th of November 1996 (7 being the number of change) the Bosham Stone came home. "

"A fool and his money are soon parted!"
Jude sold a stone from the rockery in her garden, probably Not an avenue stone as the property is on a natural sarsen drift and they can be found everywhere in the village gardens.
The Avenue did once go through the garden so there is a chance it May have been a genuine megalith but I doubt it as previous occupants would have recorded it. The chances are that most of these avenue stones were destroyed a long time back.
The barn next to the house is about 70% sarsen.
The buyer is a Sussex psychic who claims to be able to channel the real crop circle maker... eeer yeah, right.
The New owners of West Kennett House have erected a massive sarsen outside the gates which is on the line of the avenue.
I have an early photo of an avenue stone in the garden which has since been removed and thrown into the nearby field, last time I looked it was all overgrown and no longer visible.
This sort of thing is going on around Avebury all the time, you get used to it after a while..

Peteg,
Thanks for the local angle.
You said..."the avenue once did go through the garden"
What if it still does???
Is there a detailed route of said avenue???
Can those upon here please recommend the best method of detailing location, and compass angles needed to take very accurate bearings???
I need to put up or shut up, so fate seems to have deemed I wander down this avenue.
If I could plot every location to precision, and describe why the avenue sets off and arrives at what location, would that be checkable to perhaps known locations that only some local yokals know???

It appears that the last stones coming south before West Kennett are here -
It looks like they could be on the west side of The Avenue. I guess it continues through the hamlet of West Kennett and then follows the A4 - there are "Stones" marked as being on the south side of the road on the the old 1886 OS map - until it arrives at The Sanctuary.
I wonder if this is one of the stones (or just a drain cover) -

there are several avenue stones that are thrown down behind WK House and some buried one's that the Negotiating Avebury Project located.
There are some displaced stones at the farm entrance and two incorporated into garden walls.
The one's on the map are still there but thrown down, one very big one. Several are buried int he same field which AD Passmore uncovered in 1922.
For the exact plot of every avenue stone see 'Excavations at Windmill hill and Avebury' by Alexander Keiller edited by Isabelle Smith or visit the AK museum and ask Roz Cleal.
