From Stonehenge:

"The Heel Stone once known as the Friar's Heel, a corruption of the Welsh "Freya sul" or Freya's Seal"

Freya in Welsh?

Actually, just researched it some more - this may not be the Norse Freya after all. I'll remove the link and query the corruption. tnx. sjc Later: Ffreya is also a Celtic/druidic goddess so this looks more convincing now, particularly when set against the ever-reliable Geoffrey of Monmouth's confabulations.... sjc ---

Can we call it an "archaeological site" when no archaeologists are digging there? That is the common use of the term, I think.

Ancient stone monument?
