Hi James, drilling into Stonehenge is not something that we would do just for research so we are very lucky to have found the missing one!

A missing piece of one of the @EH_Stonehenge stones has been returned! ➡️ eht.social/2DTtRoM
The stone 'core' was kept by Robert Phillips, who worked on the archaeological excavations in 1958. He returned it from America, just before his 90th birthday. pic.twitter.com/llDlXNUOJA

Not quite being built, these photos were taken in 1958 during conservation works when archaeologists raised an entire fallen trilithon. You can find out more about the care and conservation of Stonehenge over the last 100 years here blog.english-heritage.org.uk/tag/stonehenge…

After the work was undertaken by diamond cutters Van Moppes it hung publically for some years in Phillips' office. There's nothing to suggest the core was taken unethically and we are grateful he took such good care of the core so we are able to analyse the interior of a stone.

Hi Juliet, I’m concerned to hear this. Would you be able to send us a direct message so I can look into this further?

Not quite! There's nothing to suggest the core was stolen. After the work was undertaken by Van Moppes it hung for some years in Phillips' office. We are grateful he took such good care of the core and are now able to analyse the interior of a stone.

Hi Becky, no they won't be. The core is 108cm and was taken from the stone in 1958 when metal rods were inserted to reinforce one of the verticle stones. The repairs were masked by small plugs cut from sarsen fragments found during excavations and are very hard to see today.

Good point! Since 1918 there has been a lot of care and conservation work at Stonehenge to ensure it stands for future generations. These works were in 1958 when archaeologists raised an entire fallen trilithon. Find out more about the conservation here blog.english-heritage.org.uk/tag/stonehenge…

In 1958, archaeologists raised an entire fallen trilithon. During the works, cracks were found in one of the vertical stones and in order to reinforce it, cores were drilled through the stone and metal rods inserted. This stone core is from these works.
