During the second half of the 17th Century the clearance of the area began, so that the land could be cultivated. It was at this stage that some of the sarsens were physically destroyed, by being broken into pieces. A special technique had to be devised because sarsen stone is extremely hard which makes it difficult to break. The stones were repeatedly heated in the blacksmith’s scorching fire and then rapidly cooled by dousing them with ice-cold water. This process weakened their structure, causing large fissures to form, which allowed the blacksmith to then prise them apart. Once they had been split into several smaller blocks, they were used in local construction work. Today, evidence of these sarsen stone blocks can be seen in the village houses and dry stone walls.
