An interesting find from Cholderton estate, c 10 km east of Stonehenge. Ixer has analysed the boulder, and says it is a Blue Pennant Sandstone. That means it has probably come from the west. How it got here is somewhat puzzling.......
This video is breathless, chaotic and excitable, but contained within it there is some useful info........

I call it an erratic, because that is what it clearly is -- an unexpected boulder found in a place far removed from its place or origin. I don't say it is a glacial erratic, in the absence of any supporting evidence, but you never know........
Ixer's notes on the boulder will no doubt appear somewhere or other.
