Sarsen stone near track to Temple Bottom This is one of about a dozen sarsens (also called "grey wethers" because of their resemblance to sheep) I found near the track leading from the Ridgeway to Temple Bottom. Judging by earlier photographs taken for this website, the number seems to have diminished. I suspect that most of them have been cleared, as I saw a quantity of them piled up in an enclosure near Temple Farm, and indeed this one appears to have been tampered with, having a large chip out of its side.
