Hmm. You sure about that? Preshute is miles away from the Millbarrow site. I've found most of the stones around winterbourne Monkton. The capstone is in the churchyard.

I'll check out that as soon as the rain stops.

Yup. I found that by riding a horse from Kennet to Marlborough.

I take it the 'Lost Henge' on the North Marlborough downs is Marden? or have you found another?
