This was reported by the BBC.

This is the second such boulder to be found in England. It was decided not to take the stone to the museum, but instead to excavate the area around it.

The boulder is made of sarsen stone, which was also used during the construction of Stonehenge.

One of the archaeologists called the discovery "unexpected."

"Stones were extremely important for Neolithic people, because without axes they could not clear forests and agriculture would be impossible," he said.

As a reminder, an ancient amphora was found in Italy.
