Missing part of Stonehenge returned 60 years onA metre-long core from inside the prehistoric stone was removed during archaeological excavations in 1958. No one knew where it was until Robert Phillips, 89, who was involved in those works, decided to return it. English Heritage, which looks after Stonehenge, hopes the sample might now help establish where the stones originally came from. In 1958 archaeologists raised an entire fallen trilithon - a set of three large stones, consisting of two that would have stood upright with the third placed horizontally across the top. During the works, cracks were found in one of the vertical stones and in order to reinforce it, cores were drilled through the stone and metal rods inserted. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-wiltshire-48190588 |
