Re: Could carved stone balls have been used as ball bearings at Stonehenge? by Anonymous on Wednesday, 06 April 2011

Hi,
I am living near ballymote and found several small clay balls
under my floor boards, (the house is very old)
Recently whilst doing the garden i came across a small stone ball measuring 15mm with an error of about .4 mm from being perfectly spherical.
It looks like a quatrz stone.
What is similar to the clay( they may be stone) balls is they have a dot on them, the claysballs are larger at 16.3 mm with a small run out also.
Its interesting to think that these stone balls might represent mirror images of the planets, further close veiwing might reveal this?
As to how they managed to make such a ball of such accuracy baffles me, the clay ones are different colours also.

Something is not right. This message is just to keep things from messing up down the road
