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
