Cuckoo Stone

The Cuckoo Stone is a Neolithic or Bronze Age standing stone [1]. The stone, which is now fallen, is in a field near to Woodhenge and Durrington Walls in Wiltshire, England [1]. It is part of the wider Stonehenge Landscape [1]. The Cuckoo Stone is a squat sarsen stone which lies on its side [1]. It is the same type of stone as the largest stones used in the Stonehenge circle [1]. The site was excavated in 2007 as part of the Stonehenge Riverside Project [1]. The stone was originally a natural feature, which sometime before 2000 BC, was placed in an upright position [1]. Around 2000 BC the Cuckoo Stone became the focus for several nearby cremation burials [1].
