There are plenty of stone circles where just one of the stones has a non-local geology. Although it's about as far away from Stonehenge as it's possible to get, the little circle at Featherstone was ripped up and the stones deposited in a pile, which still remains. All the rocks, bar one, are the local sandstone, and the exceptional one is limestone, probably from four or five miles south.

There is also the Shelving stones site which I discovered north of Avebury.
It is now a jumble of sarsens but there is a single piece of oolitic Limestone which ironicaly was identified by Mike Pitts and later confirmed by Jim Gunter.
