the so-called 'altar stone' currently at Stonehenge is probably a fallen
(central) monolith, which would basically mirror the arrangement at
Avebury's South Inner Circle, which was centred by a tall 'Obelisk' of some
21 feet / 7 metres; incidentally, this colossus was 'ground to dust' in the
eighteenth century - not one atom of its huge bulk remains anywhere to be
seen, today ...

the use of the word 'altar' is a cultural anachronism here, as far as i am
aware - i know of no altars per se from the Neolithic or Bronze Age?
 
in this context - and i stand to be corrected - i would strongly disapprove
of any moves to transport the said stone to Stonehenge
