Prehistoric Stone Clock Shocker!

Prehistoric Standing Stone Clock!

A discovery of international significance has been made in the north of Norwich. Local antiquarians have identified a prehistoric stone circle located under the flyover next to Anglia Square. Mr. Pariah Greengrass of the 'Ragged Society of Antiquarian Ramblers' (RSAR) describes it thus:

"A find of international significance! The dating evidence would seem to suggest that this remarkable survivor is around 5,000 years old. The stones themselves are concrete - which just goes to show that the ancient folk had technologies beyond anything we had hitherto imagined. Our current understanding of the purpose of the structure is that it was a clock; however, sadly, the hands do not survive. This astonishing find leads us to believe that they must have had a stone calendar nearby, and - despite the best efforts of the baser sort of angry security staff at Anglia Square! - Society members are currently undertaking a number of exploratory trenches in order to locate it. "

The Trumpington Bugle has contacted the Norfolk Archaeological Unit but, as yet, we are still awaiting a response.
