There is supposedly a child sacrifice at the centre of Woodhenge, a young child its skull clefted/cleft with an axe. Burl was and is the expert on this one, though sometimes I suspect he relished the gloomy tale...
Poets though like to dwell on death and wicked deeds and blood to bring forth the fertility of land.. ;)
