I was messing about on the sarsens around Coldrum today, they are peppered with the usual weathered holes, and if you play them as small drums, they sound different. Never noticed it before, but some were a veritable 8-piece kit. That obviously got me wondering if cupmarks could be 'played' the same way. And indeed if it would be feasible to see a stone as a potential instrument..

As a side note, I met a guy there who greeted me with "What do you know?" to which I replied "What do you want to know?"...followed by a ten-minute mini-lecture on the place. He was a builder, and he was amazed that it was still standing. We discussed the stones-pushed-in or stones-pushed-out theories, and he marvelled that anything so big could be moved without machines...he's doing Addington over lunch tomorrow, and buying TMA as soon as he can lay his hands on it...
