Re: Stones In Avebury World Heritage From North of England by mountainman on Wednesday, 16 February 2022

Interesting finds, especially relating to the grus or rotten granite debris found on the site. I don't think that anybody seriously thinks that this "rubbish debris" would have been collected on Cheviot and carted all the way back (450 kms) to West Kennet on the grounds that it was somehow sacred or valuable. It's just one of many "inconvenient" glacial erratic boulders that are scattered about the countryside. I think it has possibly been there for millions of years, quietly rotting away. Glacial limits are constantly under review -- and I guess that we have to revise this one as well, and accept that ice from the north impinged at some stage upon the chalklands of Middle England! That's the least unlikely scenario I can think of........

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