No , in Britain including the Avebury area the heyday was before Avebury was built . We have to ask the question - were the Avebury and Avenue stones already there, just lying around as they are over at Lockeridge. The fact that a few of them had been used to sharpen axes may have been coincidental. The Avenue stones seem to have been worked so perhaps the axes that worked them were sharpened in situ as they were erected. Quite likely, i think it every time i walk down the avenue [ at least 2 a year ]. Reply | with quote |  4th September 2012ce 22:44 In reply to: Re: Stone of kerb used to polish axes?? (tjj) |
