Description Two slightly different angles of the tallest of the two Cove stones at Avebury. This is supposed to be the 'phallic' one of the pair.
On the left can also be seen Stone 201 which was once part of the Northern Inner Circle that surrounded the cove. [22.06.05]

Has this stone got something in common with Stone 206, which was at the east of the circle surrounding the Cove? Both have the same curious cleft/indentation, but is it just natural, or man-made? (Pic of stone 206 posted same day).

Good old Avebury (with the emphasis upon the old!) I suppose we'll never know about the indentions you have observed. I passed through here in '94, and this village and giant circle, was absolutely stunning. Excellent photography here, Angie, comparing the tallest of the 'phallic' stones. Now, where did I leave Ethelwulf's big chopper....?
