STONEHENGE

            Turns out the Scots built Stonehenge. Or at least part of it. The altar stone, apparently, did not originate in either England or Wales, but came from Scotland. It had been assumed that this stone, like the bluestones, came from Wales. But its new provenance is now being used to support claims that the structure represents a feat of cooperation across a much wider area than had been…

While the larger town of Orvieto has claimed the altar cloth with the miraculous blood stain from the miracle, the town of Bolsena has retained the altar stone upon which the famous Eucharistic Miracle of 1263 is supposed to have occurred.

Important Roman altar stone unearthed at Cumbrian dig

A historically important Roman altar stone has been discovered by archeologists digging in Maryport.

The excavation at Camp Farm is being led by Professor Ian Haynes, of Newcastle University with leading field archaeologist Tony Wilmott.

The site is internationally famous as the place where 17 altar stones found in 1870 - they are now on display in the museum at the town’s Senhouse Roman Museum.

Many stones would have made up the altar which was used in worship and Professor Haynes believes that the Maryport ditch could have been dug to enclose a sacred space, but he said further evidence is needed.

Fragments of Roman pottery found in the ditch are all Antonine or later, suggesting the ditch was filled up in the late second or early third centuries AD.

This newest stone is 22 cm high and 12cm wide and was found 75cm below the ground surface in a Roman ditch. Jane Laskey, curator of the Senhouse Roman Museum said she was excavating the ditch with a student from Newcastle University when they made the discovery. Read more.
