There are some holed stones at Tregeseal, though, aren't there? - although I've never actually got to them being near to such a fantastic 'circle. Plus Odin's stone at Stenness, of course.
Interesting... with the discussions we had recently about the prehistoric pedigree of cairns, I guess the same arguments apply to standing stones?
How do we know, without excavation, whether a standing stone is the real deal or just erected by a farmer as a scratching post?
