Cuckoo Stone

The Cuckoo Stone is a Neolithic or Bronze Age sarsen standing stone, now fallen on its side, located in a field near Woodhenge and Durrington Walls in Wiltshire, England, part of the wider Stonehenge World Heritage landscape. The stone is the same type of sarsen as the largest monoliths at Stonehenge, approximately 2.5 km to the southwest. Excavated in 2007 as part of the Stonehenge Riverside Project, the dig revealed the pit in which the stone once stood immediately to the west. Geochemical analysis indicates it was likely transported from West Woods on the Marlborough Downs, the same source that supplied Stonehenge's large sarsens.
