TJJ, Yes, The avenue stone would have been impossible to work in it's current position.

There's also several polishing marks in the West Kennett longbarrow, Some obvious, Some not so, Until you touch them.

I believe there are several dozen more documented (in the Avebury area) but i can't remember the source.


Go and sit at the polisher in the avenue and pretend to polish, it's perfect where it is, the fyfield downs polisher was stood up as well and the main polisher outside the second chamber on the left in west kennet is stood up as well, 3 stones, all polishers and all were stood up when used, honestly just go sit at the 2 still stood up and you'll see what i mean, and when you compare the avebury polishers with the coldrum one, the coldrum one doesn't really convince me, as the markings seem quite natural.
