Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: Spotted dolerite Where this piece of rock has been "wellied off" reveals the speckled appearance of the bluish-coloured stone, thought to have had special significance prehistorically, and possibly to have represented the night sky. If Stonehenge was a giant astronomical calculator, as some surmise, this resemblance could account for the presence of the spotted dolerite stone within the sarsen circle....
(Damage like this to an SSSI or a scheduled ancient monument courts a maximum fine £20,000.) |
