Rock found to be prehistoric toy hedgehog


It may look like a grubby bit of rock but this ancient carving has caused a stir among archaeologists and hedgehog lovers.

It is a prehistoric toy hedgehog and was unearthed from a three-year-old child's grave at Stonehenge in Wiltshire.

Thought to be about 2,500 years old, it is the earliest known depiction of a hedgehog in Britain.

'Amid the aura of gloom that surrounds Stonehenge, it comes as a beam of light to find a child's toy,' said archaeologist Dennis Price.
