Benedict, indeed. The past is obscured to a greater degree. I subscribe to Londenstane being a remaining part of a limestone menhir (one of many) that was mined in what is now known as Kent. It was on the original Ley Line demarcation for London. The epoch was ~ 4500 BCE.
Benedict, the part I find fascinating is that JE Price in 1870 demonstrated that Londenstane was a much larger deeply planted menhir that was broken off in 1742 to make way for Cannon Street. There is a sub Rosa connection to Cleopatra's Needle and other area menhirs and dolmens.
In the US, we have nothing like this. I have no theories on it but I am glad if they don't know what it is they keep it rather than in the US we would just throw it away.
