How much do we know about Stonehenge? Less than we think. And what has Stonehenge got to do with the Ice Age? More than we might think. This blog is mostly devoted to the problems of where the Stonehenge bluestones came from, and how they got from their source areas to the monument. Now and then I will muse on related Stonehenge topics which have an Ice Age dimension...

Stone 53
Lloyd says:
I thank Timothy Daw for his comments and I acknowledge and understand what he says however, I find it is difficult to relate these comments to the external SW side of Stone 053. Rather than having a random shape produced by stone dressing, it looks as though it is more 'purposeful' in its design, and it is to this that I am seeking an explanation.
Actually Lloyd, you can contribute directly to the blog discussion if you want.
Do you have a similar photo of the T shape on 54 Brian? (the one that Terry mentioned)
ReplyDeleteWhen I looked at these, I thought 54 was particularly pronounced (but I don't have a good photo of it): The two T shapes described appear to be on opposing faces of the 53/54 trilithion (the pair which is directly South of the centre of the monument)
Interesting that the T shapes appear to correspond dimensionally with the T shaped 'mushroom' carvings on Stone 53 and so on?
Thanks
Jon
Those T shaped 'muchroom' carvings are carvings of bronze axe heads. One of these was found in the Bush Barrow.
