Usual notices:
1. We are not historians. We enjoy researching and learning, and with that we enjoy sharing our journeys with you. That said, sources for information often listed below with credits.
2. Corrections. Whilst we make every attempt to not include any errors, research, and piecing stories together from dozens of sources sometimes leads to one or two. I will note here if any are found:
Errors
1. Above all, please do not take this as a critism of the original paper. This moved our understanding of the Altar stone forward greater than has ever gone before. This was an attempt to address the potential downfalls which by and large where not of their doing. English heritage may one day give up a core and this can be done with a greater confidence.
2. Clearly I can't spell "Length".
