Question
On Christmas in 1950, four Scottish students stole one of these objects and hid it in Arbroath Abbey after it broke in half. The sarsen variety of these objects are found at Avebury, as well as a “Heel” example located on an avenue in Wiltshire. One of these things was moved from Edinburgh Castle back to Westminster Abbey for King Charles’s coronation and is named for originally being kept at (*) Scone Abbey. In a castle by Cork, visitors dangle by their ankles and bend backwards to kiss one of these objects said to bestow the gift of the gab. In Britain, body weight is measured in an imperial unit named for these objects equal to fourteen pounds. Blarney Castle is home to one of, for 10 points, what objects that stand on the Salisbury plain in a “henge?” ■END■
