Located just 500 meters west of Woodhenge in Durrington, this Sarsen boulder holds an intriguing history that dates back centuries. The Cuckoo Stone's imposing presence commands attention as it silently witnesses the passage of time. Its weathered surface bears witness to countless generations who have marveled at its sheer size and wondered about its purpose. Standing tall amidst the lush greenery, it serves as a reminder of our ancient ancestors' ingenuity and their deep connection with nature. James O. Davies skillfully captures the essence of this remarkable stone formation through his lens, emphasizing its raw beauty against the contrasting backdrop. The play between light and shadow adds an air of mystery to this already enchanting scene.
