Thanks for the help, will post up how I got on and pics if I'm lucky

Yeah, please do! Be good to hear how you got on... I'm sure the map ref can be found *somewhere* online, cos I've seen it. Just can't find it right now! I meant to dig my map out and give you it from there. For all I know the landowner doesn't mind it being published any more anyway! If he ever did in the first place! ;)

Right! I'm off to my mate's photo exhibition. I'll post a link up later - he's got some fab pics of megalithic sites around the uk... :)

Well I found the pollisoir, walked straight to it from Avebury. Never managed to find the cup marked stone though. Its like a graveyard for stones up there!

I walked from Avebury (national trust car park) up to the ridgeway, along to the polisher, through Fyfield down (past an abandoned cottage). Then I went to see long Tom and the Devil's den before returning to Avebury. Took me around 3 and a half hours.

Thanks for the info and help, I will have another go at looking for the cup marked stone in future. My wife wants to see them, so I'll take her to the pollisoir then try again on the cup marked :-)

Another thing I notice, is the pictures of the pollisoir already on this site have more grooves in the stone, I guess the rock must be wearing down.
