Stunning Sarsen!

close

Sometimes the stones just take my breath away. These are in Cobham in Kent, close to the mythical Warrior's Grave tomb, robbed of its stones to make a fake chamber in Cobham Park. The first is at the village end of the old carriage driveway to the village, and for want of a better word I have called it the Bubblestone, because that's just what it looks like. The second is in Sarsen Close [a surprise to me!], alledgedly the site of the WG and is in a garden. It's 12' long, and probably contains enough holes and soil to keep the bush on top of it in blooming health, and is a beauty.

No camera, just a phone, but better than nowt...

Stunning, it looks just like the tiny 'concave end scraper on a flake' tool that was used by folk for butchering and alike back then.

By my reckoning that thing will weigh about 75kg'ish, can you imagine the size of the chap that used it? My estimates put him at about the size of a four story building.

More evidence of the existnace of Giants I say.
