Didn't Terence Meaden do a whole book on shapes in/on the Avebury stones?

Yeah, that's the one. He theorises that the stones were chosen because they are shaped like faces, or are carved into the shapes.

Looks like quite an interesting book, although I don't hold with the "faces" idea, personally. However, there is one of the stones that bears a striking resemblance to Kenneth Williams! So who knows? ;)

I sort of got the impression, though, that rather than this being a stone carved in the shape of a heart, that Tobydog found a marking on a stone in the shape of a heart... It could well be the remains of some lichen, graffiti, carving, natural erosion or just a shape in the stone.

It'd be good to see a photo so we can see what yer on about, Tobydog! :)
