I got in touch with them about this a while ago and amy have mentioned it on the Avebury forum . There was no sign of contrition or even an appreciation that moving what may have been a part of a prehistoric monument elsewhere for purely selfish reasons under the guise of new age bollocks might not have been a good idea .
Good on you for getting in touch with them.
It does rather highlight the point, made elsewhere, that the smaller, recumbent and/or buried stones in the Avebury area are indeed at risk of being ‘removed’ and transported elsewhere.
There’s the armrest of a bench showing in the photograph above which gives some idea of the size of the stone. It’s not impossible, but hard to believe, that it (the stone) could have been manhandled into a truck without the aid of some kind of machinery (or a block and tackle at least).
