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.
Daniel, yes, fully agree. True for so many things where we “lost” the underpinnings of the knowledge that was present. I visited 100s of megalithic sites around the world, menhirs & dolmens are on every continent—experts assign “religious” purpose to things they cant understand.
