A piece of sarsen debitage found at Stonehenge, 51 km away, came from a group of boulders at Bramdean, arranged in their current position by a Colonel Greenwood in the 19th century. Nevertheless the spot does seem to fall on some interesting alignments, including the one presented here. It takes in Hinton Ampner church, a crossroads on Gander Down, the length of the southern cloister that surrounds the Fromond Chantry at Winchester College, and St Michael's church nearby #sarsens #Stonehenge

Stonehenge stands strong and proud
The stones weathered and bowed
A monument to ancient days
Forever standing in this place

The sarsens pose riddles to history
Their purpose forever a mystery
Their journey to standing from quarry
A people forgotten from stories
