It seems to me that this monolith hosts a crude carving of a skull, shown below. There are other skulls among the Avebury monoliths, click here for details.

Although this is a digital image taken with a Nikon ZFC, because of  my shooting/processing technique I believe the effect is reminiscent of a moonlit 35mm film image made with push processed Fuji Provia 400. My love of retro 35mm imagery is one of the reasons I have shot this Avebury project on a crop sensor digital camera cranked up (usually) to ISO 1600.
