A close-up photo of a black-and-white cow standing in a grassy field, looking directly at the camera with its nose slightly wet. Another cow grazes in the blurry background, and rolling hills sit under an overcast sky.

A curious black‑and‑white cow stands at the front of a small group of cattle, leaning over a wooden fence and stretching its nose toward the camera. Its large nostrils, soft muzzle, and fine whiskers dominate the foreground, creating a playful, close‑up perspective. Behind it, several other cows gather closely, their heads angled toward the lens as if equally interested. The animals stand in a bright green pasture under a partly cloudy blue sky, with a farm building and distant hills visible

An old map showing a rectangular earthwork/ enclosure. The word stone is written inside the enclosure
An old map showing a cross roads. The word 'stone' is written in three places on the map. Each of these words has a red square around it
An old map showing Tenants Hill. A stone circle is depicted and labelled
Do you like looking at old maps? Would you like to help us with some ‘quick fire’ desk-based mapping to look for potential sarsens?

A pyramid shaped stone, with it's point upwards. It is in a flat grassy field, with some trees in the background
This stone appears isolated and is standing on its head. Look at the orientation of the banding. What happened to the other stones from this field?

2 people are standing pointing into the distance. They are surrounded by some large stones, in a grass field with blue sky behind.
These stones are on the top of the ridge. They must have been brought up here by people but we don't know when. They have been left in this arrangement by a modern farmer!

This is a map showing the extent of the natural sarsen field on Tenants Hill. People may have moved large stones across significant distances for specific purposes but they were unlikely to have carried the smaller ones.

A large stone with an excavated area behind it. There are lots of small stones in parts of the excavated area
What should you expect to find when digging around sarsens? More sarsens!
We excavated a small area near the polissoir, and found many, many, small sarsens underneath the topsoil.

A high kerb, with large long flat stones running along the edge of the pavement and on top of a small wall built from small stones
Sarsen Street Furniture?
We think these kerb stones in Abbotsbury are made out of sarsen stone. If anyone is walking past, give them a poke and let us know. Very hard probably = sarsen.

A stone wall, mostly built with small bricks but some large sarsen boulder can be seen lower down. There is a stream in front of the wall and a graveyard visible behind
We’ve focused our research so far on the Valley of Stones, but there is also a natural deposit of sarsen stones in Portesham, just down the way. These have been built into the infrastructure of the village

Several stones lying at different angles are visible in the foreground. In the background there are lots of stones scattered across a grassy field
A large stone is lying on an angle, with smaller stones either side. It is in a grassy field, with a hill behind.
In 1908 these stones were described as ‘a collapsed dolmen’ by the Dorset Field Club. We hope to investigate further-it is an unusual location for this type of monument.

This is one of the stones that kicked off Jim’s thinking about sarsens on Tenants Hill. It is buried at the bottom of a hedge bank.

A circle of large stones in a grassy field
This small circle of stones in the Valley of Stones is the remnants of a bronze or iron age house. The house itself would have been built out of wood, just using the stones for additional external support.

A large stone with visible banding
This is a typical sarsen stone in the Valley of Stones. You can clearly see the different layers of geological deposits.
