'Lost' Piece of Stonehenge Gets Returned

A piece of the famed Stonehenge monument that was removed from the site six decades ago and subsequently lost has been returned to the proprietors of the legendary landmark. The four-foot-long cylindrical segment was extracted from one of the megalith's stones during a 1958 restoration project aimed at reinforcing the structure by inserting metal rods into the rocks. Apparently, no one at the time considered the piece to be of any value as one of the workers on the job, Robert Phillips, was able to simply take it home with him.

For the next sixty years, Philips kept the one-of-a-kind memento on display in his office and even brought the piece to America when he moved to Florida later in life. However, on the occasion of his 90th birthday last year, he expressed concerns about what might become of the Stonehenge souvenir upon his passing. In turn, since his health is failing and he could not make the journey himself, Philips asked his sons to hand the piece over to English Heritage, which oversees Stonehenge, which they did this week.

More on this remarkable story, including how the existence of the stone fragment was news to the organization, at the Coast to Coast AM website.
