Sarsen stones are
ancient and extremely dense metamorphosed limestone, famous at Avebury
and Stonehenge. Flints are also metamorphosed limestone and are impossible
to drill because of their hardness. At nearby Vale of Pewsey, smaller
sarsens and flints removed by farmers from fields were piled under hedges.
Beside the upper reaches of the Avon River, at the edge of an organic
meadow, the tower of balanced sarsens and flints was built, and acknowledges
the ground they came from and celebrates their ancient form and strength.
