Scientific paper

IN an old number of Notes and Queries (4, v. 598) E. Dunkin asks ``why the `Friar's Heel' at Stonehenge is so named,'' and the only answer I can find in the bibliography of Stonehenge (Wilts Archaeological Magazine, vol. xxxii.) is as follows:-``It may have been called the Heel stone,'' observes Prof. Flinders Petrie, ``from A.S. helan, to hide or conceal, just as a. cromlech at Portisham, Dorset, is called the `Hel-stone.'''
