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.
