Meteorite was 'frozen during the Ice Age and found at a burial site near Stonehenge 200 years ago'

Experts believe they have discovered the origin of the 200lb meteorite, which is thought to be the largest ever to fall on British soil.
Not only do researchers believe they know where the space rock came from, they think they know why it survived so long without disintegrating. It is likely the meteorite was frozen and preserved for 20,000 years during the Ice Age, it has been claimed.
Professor Colin Pillinger believes the metallic iron rock could have landed on Salisbury Plain 30,000 years ago before being picked up by druids. They might have used it in the construction of a chalk mound - such as Silbury Hill near Avebury, Wiltshire, - which would have protected it from decay; the reducing environment of chalk - the anaerobic environment - would have prevented the iron from oxidising.
