Somewhere I recall a theory, or a record, that there was a very tall stone at the centre of (was-it?) the southern circle. More a maypole than a totem pole, perhaps. Be careful with that bicycle.

You might be thinking of the obelisk in Avebury's south-east quadrant.

You mean the obelisk? No, that was real enough.

I did propose that once a year (on my birthday actually, or on the megameet day) a fibre glass replica should be placed there. But there have been no takers. Pity really, a lot could be learned.
