Interesting. I presume that the dating methods involve samples taken from the holes, which would fit with one being removed for access.

With only one sarsen removed it would be quite difficult to "row" the trilithon stones through the gap.

Naah, Pickfords could do it!
It only means you have a gap between rowers of a metre or two and I suppose you could angle the oars and sort of fiddle it through.

You had me worried for a moment, I thought you'd disproved stone rowing right there and then!
