Re: Wells and Mendip Museum by enjaytom on Thursday, 02 January 2014

Angie Lake,
The Megalithic Portal News Summary dated 20th September 2013: -
The stone column situated in the lawn in front of the Mendip Museum, Wells, Somerset has a clear hole through the stone near the top. In my other comments elsewhere I identify a number of "Holed Stones" such as Men-a-tol and the Keiller stone at Avebury, others in Orkney, Sweden, Ireland and Wales all of whom have myths and legends associated with them concerned with health, well being and fertility. On a more modern vein, the Vikings's sagas cite the goddess Eyr or Eir as the good health deity.
Is there a story associated with the Mendip Museum stone?
