what amazes me is that is seems no bugger else has even looked for these stones!
Bluestone must stand out if used in a bridge or a wall, even if it broken up.
The large missing sarsens could make several walls of a house.
Pitts thinks they are in the foundations of Roman buildings (where?) or buried. well there are no buried nearby as recent geophys would have found them.
In my experience most farmers don't know what they have got on their land.

Yeah, that's the main principle of finding stuff - nobody's ever looked before. Full stop. Though when you do find something it's apt to be dismissed with the argument - not always voiced - "There can't be anything there as someone would have already found it". I can't understand how a young farmer that has grown up herding sheep on a hill, with his dad and uncle, can say about a six foot tall, broad, standing stone - "I didn't know it was there".
