Or was it standing up somewhere and then fell over in the dim mists of time? I've not really thought about it before. Does anyone here know its story of discovery / interpretation offhand? The stone circle integral to the original henge monument was extensively destroyed and the remains purposefully buried before the passage grave was built on top of it. The carved stone was probably part of a central construction on the circle henge, it certainly predates the passage grave. Why it was simply buried alongside the central ear-bone pit, and not smashed as many of the circle stones were, remains a mystery. We've got a blurb about this on our site:- http://www.megalithics.com/wales/brynceli/celimain.htm Would love to see the original stone!
