Fyfield Down Cup Marked Stone 5

Given the amount of visitors that it could attract from the village tourist load, I'm not surprised the landowners want exact locations kept quiet. Though the cup marked stone may underwhelm more people than it would inspire, especially after they'd been wowed by the bigness of Avebury, the polisher offers a sense of intimate frisson that's quite a powerful counterpoint to the massive impersonality of the more gigantic stuff.

I know Avebury is very big and clever an all, but Fyfield Down is the best spot in Wilts as far as I'm concerned :)

totaly agree with that Hob.
Although....
I was recently sent some photos by an emminent Prof of a sarsen drift that I haven't seen before.
He has promised to show me where it is soon but my initial reaction to the photos was "Fuggin' Ell!"

I very much doubt if the people that built the monuments saw the Sarsens drifts as mere quarries..

I'm inclined to believe that they, like I, were inspired by them..
