6th Century BC Heelstone Scroll Trench

 

Stonehenge in its landscape; Twentieth-century excavations, Rosamund MJ Cleal, KE Walker, and R Montague, ENGLISH HERITAGE, 1995, ARCHAEOLOGICAL REPORT 10, ISBN: 1850746052, Pages 321-322, Figure 183-183 continued, Lieutenant-Colonel William Hawley's 1923 cross-section C6 of 9ft wide 33ft long WA3607 broad cut scroll trench to underneath Heelstone. Map of C6 cross-section at Page 269, Figure 156. Note: C6 cross-section at Pages 321-322, Figure 183-183 continued, shown reversed. Lydian lion electrum coins (7) in WA3607 scroll trench, 1 recovered. Described in daily Journal No. 4 at Stonehenge on 19th May 1923. Remaining artifacts along and at 12ft bottom of Inigo Jones' Stone-Heng Restored scroll trench East of coined Heelstone elder circular ditch (missing). Gold ark (2.5c-1.5c-1.5c), gold table (2c-1c-1.5c), gold altar (1c-1c-2c), gold candlestick, gold breastplate, gold ephod, gold censer, and brass laver, all, inside brass altar (5c-5c-3c) located beneath Hawley's Helestone lion head, calf head, man face, and eagle wings (pictured below). Jones' brass altar (5c-5c-3c) top side at 7.5ft augered depth. Scrolling trench 9ft wide 33ft long description from Stonehole B (WA3606) to 12ft below Heelstone 96 (Stonehole 163) surface: BEGINNING at mapped Stonehole B (WA3606), THENCE deepening Northeast, THENCE cutting Easternmost Posthole at A (missing), through C6 cross-section right triangle at southwest side, and Heelstone elder circular ditch (missing), THENCE East pass Stonehole 97 disturbance at northern side to beneath Hawley's Helestone lion head, calf head, man face, and eagle wings. Artifacts below Denoco Inc.'s ATT refraction seismic station No. 96 (sledgehammer source) recorded at Stonehenge on 1st April 1985. Salisbury Museum and above publication maps contour 33ft long broad cut scroll trench short by 25ft showing WA3607 only 8ft long. Robert Newall's 1923 scroll trench map contour short of Hawley's cross-sections and scroll trench East side under Heelstone (embedded 4.5ft). Three 1985 refraction seismic lines confirm Hawley's cross-sections and 9ft wide 33ft long scroll trench length and depths. Denoco Inc.'s ATT two north-south lines traverse WA3607 scroll trench width, and one east-west cross line ties along its length. English Heritage's AMLab 75 Ohm-m^2/m 1994 resistivity survey (above publication: Figure 261; Page 500) traceplot of raw resistivity data confirms ATT refraction seismic recordings. Upload of coined 6th Century BC Heelstone Scroll Trench 1984 magnetic-electromagnetic (EM-GPR) and 1985 refraction seismic maps and cross-sections to follow shortly.

Hey Garry -

 

that text you posted looks like it was taken from a book list catalouge. It might help to clean it up or at least link to the source. It is hard to discuss this without you at least posing some questions for us.

I agree. I am persuing a future career in Archaeology.

What is this about Gold Ark; Gold altar, gold lampstand, ect. I have done studies on the old jewish temple worship, this sounds familiar; I would like to hear what this is all about. Please email some more information to me.

Question No. 1.

 

Concerning the mapping of easternmost Posthole at A (the 4th blackened circle on most Stonehenge maps), located 18ft due west of the Heelstone's west side; Do you (does anyone?) think it is right or wrong to solid line contour and blacken in on any map a posthole, such as the easternmost Posthole at A, cut away entirely by the subject 6th century BC Heelstone scroll trench, when such easternmost Posthole at A does not exist? (see Hawley's C6 cross-section of 1923 in above publication: Pages 321-322, Figure 183-183 continued)

 

Question No. 2.

 

Concerning the mapping of Heelstone's western elder circular ditch 9ft missing portion (the thinnest darkened portion on most Stonehenge maps), located 13ft west-southwest of the Heelstone's west side; Do you (does anyone?) think it is right or wrong to solid line contour and darken in on any map a ditch, such as Heelstone's western circular ditch 9ft missing portion, cut away entirely by the subject 6th century BC Heelstone scroll trench, when such elder circular ditch portion does not exist? (see Hawley's C6 cross-section of 1923 in above publication: Pages 321-322, Figure 183-183 continued)

 

Question No. 3.

 

Why is the subject 6th century BC Heelstone scroll trench not mapped honoring the detailed sample descriptions of the original C6 cross-section creators, Lt.-Col. William Hawley and Robert Newall, on most Stonehenge maps? (see Hawley's C6 cross-section of 1923 in above publication: Pages 321-322, Figure 183-183 continued)

 

Same original C6 cross-section at Salisbury and South Wiltshire Museum:

Thank you!

The above publication is out of print but available through interlibrary loan. If one is so inclined comparison of the C6 cross-section cited in the above English Heritage 1995 publication, to the Hawley and Newall original 1923 map published in 1925, is available at most universities (at Southern Methodist University of Dallas for certain) in The Antiquaries Journal, 1925, published by Humphrey Milford, Oxford University Press, in Volume 5, at Page 21 preceeding, Plate IX. Nice photograph (black and white) in The Antiquaries Journal, 1925, in Volume 5, at Page 25 preceeding, Plate X, same in the above English Heritage 1995 publication, et al, including Stonehenge Complete by Christopher Chippindale, all 3 editions. But save and except for the C6 cross-section showing the detailed sample descriptions of the subject scrolling trench, none of the maps or photgraphs show it: because; Hawley and Newall did not excavate it completely so as not to disturb the Stonehole B (WA3606) area any further northeast of the scrolling trench origination (WA3607) area. Why? The subject scrolling trench was so large and deepening so rapidly to the northeast-east toward the west side of Heelstone, that if they had excavated it completely to the northeast-east, none of the features in its path would have been left to photograph, and present (sound familiar?), at the annual Report on the Excavations at Stonehenge reading, which occurred on 19th June 1924 covering the season of 1923. Basically, they were told to stop short and illustrate their to date findings, save and except for the large scrolling trench. Unfortunately, the Office of Works blocked any more excavation of the northeast-east scrolling trench, from Stonehole B (WA3606) to the Heelstone, and history has left us with the Hawley and Newall correctly drafted maps, incorporating dashed lines for undefinite features, and solid lines for definite features (see The Antiquaries Journal, 1925, published by Humphrey Milford, Oxford University Press, in Volume 5, at Page 21 preceeding, Plate IX.), and, of course, all of the misleading maps which followed in the solid lined Stonehenge publications. Thus, the historical question as to why the subject trench was neither fully excavated nor mapped any further than the northeast line of WA3607 is answered, the artistic question is is anyone here interested in expressing it artistically using our seismic refraction contour map as a basis, and the scientific question is when is the next seismic refraction survey going to be conducted over it because the first one is thirty (30) days short of being twenty (20) years old, and outdated. I think we should complete the excavation of 6th century BC Heelstone scroll trench began by William Hawley and Robert Newall through artistic expression of it, based upon all the above facts of the matter, and any more facts that may be acquired.

___What is a 'scrolling' trench? Do you intend to propose some new function for Stonehenge because of the trench or do you believe artifacts lie buried in the trench? :naughty:

[Garry Denke]

What is a 'scrolling' trench?

It is not round, it is not straight, it is curved, bowed, like a scroll. The term 'scroll trench' derived from the curve of a loosely or partly rolled parchment scroll or the curved head of a bowed stringed musical instrument was chosen to differentiate it from the elder circular Heelstone ditch which it completely cuts through as it 'scrolls' northeast from its origination at Stonehole WA3606 then east to under Stonehole WA163.

 

Do you intend to propose some new function for Stonehenge because of the trench or do you believe artifacts lie buried in the trench?

The listed items above contained in the wooden brass box modified by the attachment of 4 iron wheels and hitch (ferromagnetic) backed down 6th century BC Heelstone scroll trench from the southwest then west to the furthest eastern end of the scrolling trench are under Stonehole WA163 of Heel Stone 96 according to 1st April 1985 EM-GPR geophysics gathered before the "Battle of the Beanfield" twenty (20) years ago.

 

Best wishes Turtle!

[Turtle]

___So we need permission to dig?

___What do you think the wagon is for? Part of constructing apparatus? Ancillary equipment for using/operating Stonehinge as a machine? This is fascinating!

___Has anyone plotted this scroll algebraically to see if its part of Archimedian, logarithmic, etc spiral or some other 'special' curve?

___Similarly, what purpose does the elder circular trench serve? So many questions present themselves; very interesting topic.:hyper:

___I better go back & review some of the links you proffered.:cup: :cup: :cup:

Here is the red tape that is currently holding up the recharging of Earth's magnetic field as it continues its decrease toward Tesla zero. On 26th July 2005 the Planning and Regulatory Panel of Salisbury District Council refused English Heritage's application for excavation and removal of A-344 road beside Heelstone:

English Heritage's application, approved by the Northern Area Committee of Salisbury District Council at its meeting of 19th July 2005, was refused by the Planning and Regulatory Panel of Salisbury District Council on 26th July 2005, because it did not provide for excavating and removing the Heelstone artifacts:

1) brass altar (5c-5c-3c)

2) gold ark (2.5c-1.5c-1.5c)

3) gold table (2c-1c-1.5c)

4) gold altar (1c-1c-2c)

5) gold candlestick

6) gold breastplate

7) gold ephod

8) gold censer

9) brass laver

http://www.salisbury.gov.uk/council/contact

 

English Heritage was very surprised, and disappointed, by Salisbury District Council's decision, but they now know the grounds for refusal are ones which can easily be resolved when English Heritage submits the amended scheme providing for the excavation and removal of the Heelstone artifacts and A-344 road.

 

http://www.gnn.gov.uk/content/detail.asp?NewsAreaID=2&ReleaseID=175616

 

The review will be taken forward by a steering group consisting of representatives from: the Department for Transport; the Department for Culture, Media and Sport; the Department for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs; the Highways Agency; the Government Office for the South West; and statutory advisers.

___Ohhhh goody! I haven't really looked forward to or enjoyed my birthday in a good many years. This year it's shaping up superbly! I of course have plenty of reading to do & maps to survey now to tide me over.

___Garry, your Christmas Greeting Card is remarkable right down to the time. We (my housemates & keepers) went last week & got our Christmas tree. We went up the road a piece & bought a Grand Fir which we tied to a comet & brought home. This is the first year we ever brought home Grand Fir; in the past it was usually Doug Fir or Noble Fir & we either took a permit & went to the forest to cut it or cut it ourselves at one of the local tree farms.

____Yahooooo & ohhhhh goody indeed.:cup:
