what on earth makes you think the stonehenge sarsens came from Piggledean?
Mike Pitts think they come from a wood high up on Totterdown at Fyfield but there are other drifts closer that are now empty that are better candidates IMHO such as the Monkton down drift which only has a hand full of stones now but does have those Huge holes in fields.

Dunno mate, but I read it somewhere and it's got stuck in the old memory banks. Will let you know the source when I can remember where I put it.
