Stone Henge

[Canrider]

John Aubrey recorded the pits that bear his name in 1666.
William Stukeley recorded Stonehenge and other adjoining monuments in the early C18.

But all this is immaterial, as Stonehenge Phase I (c.3100BC*), comprising the henge itself, ie, the bank, Aubrey holes and ditch, provided C14-datable finds in the form of both deposited animals bones in the base of the ditch, as well as antler shovels and picks used to dig the ditch and cremated human remains in the Aubrey holes.

Sorry bonj, can't argue with radiometric dating methods, can we?

*Glossing over more recent evidence for Mesolithic (8000BC) activity on the site.

Ahem....what were you rolling Sam?

 

[Ravenbait]

Rolling?

Patrick, are you being suggestive?

I'll have you know I was very good at my job. And I once met Robert Plant while on duty.

That was years ago. I have a different job now.

No wonder they tried to ban people from the henge at the solstice!
If you look carefully you might see Dave5n dancing about on the stage
