Missing Piece of Stonehenge Returned
A piece of one of the enormous sarsen stones at Stonehenge has been returned to the ancient monument, English Heritage announced today (8 May). The prehistoric stone ‘core’ was removed during archaeological excavations in 1958 and its existence remained largely unknown for the next 60 years. The core will now join English Heritage’s collection of more than 500,000 artefacts and may help to uncover the source of the stones that form the instantly recognisable trilithons and outer circle of Stonehenge.

English Heritage has today launched an appeal to support the conservation of these irreplaceable treasures.
