This is really interesting but the attempt to link the Castleton Garland (first written records of the event 1749) to a 3000 year old stone head is dubious to put it mildly. The archaeologist states that it probably was part of a shrine to which the local farmers 'would bring new season's flower offerings for devine intervention'. But we have no way of knowing this. Assuming it was part of a shrine (and that's not a given) they may have simply stood around in silent contemplation like Quakers, or chanted, or sacrificed animals - or virgins! Who knows?
