A thin residue of silica on top of the Downland in Southern England fragmented in the Ice Ages to leave thousands of blocks over the landscape. These were considered sacred and used to build Stonehenge, Sillbury Hill,and many more sites, including within burial furrows.

For a stone sacred to religion (many Sussex churches have sarsen stones in their churchyards) there is also a strong link to the Albion. The Goldstone is one and has been moved 200m South (i think) from it's original resting place. The Amex is next to the sacred sites of ancient and modern (dog on a bit of string) Druids. Large collections of sarsen stones can be found around Falmer Pond, Stanmer House and Stanmer Village.

I was going to link this to the current situation at the Albion but have put my sacrificial sites joke away. These sarsen stones are truly historically amazing.

Other stones are around the Dolphin Fountain in the Steine and on top of Hollingbury Hill.
