“There's a fair bit of mythology attached to the ammonite. St Hilda of Whitby in the middle 600s AD was supposed to have killed all of the snakes in the area by decapitating them with her whip - the ammonites found around the Yorkshire coast were assumed to be the remains. Local craftsmen have carved heads on them to form lucky snakestones for centuries. In 5th Century India, ammonites were regarded as the embodiment of a god, 17th Century Germans considered them a charm against witchcraft, and many North American plains tribes carried them for good luck, too.”

It's a funny old world. It seems that in precisely the same place as you found the king and queen there's a much celebrated figure facing the other way - the Silbury Crone Goddess, as captured in this official photograph published by English Heritage http://www.theaveburyexperience.co.uk/images/Silbury_Hag_22_copy.jpg
