Stonehenge's altar stone rediscovered?

Dennis Price, who is a renowned expert on the site and used to work with Wessex Archaeology, believes the two large stones standing at the side of a lane next to the B3083 could be parts of Stonehenge's mysterious altar stone.

The altar stone, which is believed to be the centrepiece of rituals carried out at Stonehenge, was first discovered in 1620 by the prominent architect, Inigo Jones, when he undertook the first ever investigation into the site. . .

Mr Price believes the altar stone might well have been taken to Berwick St James, where it was first used as a bridge over a stream and now stands in two pieces by the side of a road.
