3 Y&Z holes cutting into Sarsen stone erection ramps -
Cut by a new hole or, an alternative, reopening a pre-existing hole ? The stones are so long it would be a simple matter to cut a ramp across a pre-existing hole, slide the stone across, and recut the side of the hole after the ramp was in-filled. I am surprised that the ramp extended as far as Y2. It would be interesting to hear the views of the relevant archaeologists on this, and perhaps an explanation of why it is not possible ?
