The origin and nature of this extraordinary object in the shopping centre is the subject of energetic debate among Bracknellovians. Some believe "Cube Henge" or "Henge Squirt" to be a gift from Bracknell's twin town, Moonbase Alpha out of Space 1999. More eccentric residents believe it to be as old as the shopping centre itself. In any case, evidence including the concrete chunk's proximity to lay lines and relative position to other concrete chunks in the vicinity suggest that it may have been used by the ancients to tell when the shops open on a Saturday. The latter theory is supported by the recent discovery of objects made out of precisely the same concretey stuff in Basingstoke, another city of the future with a shopping centre. Local historian Burt Reynolds claims that as Cube Henge is too big to get into a Ford Escort, even one with a sun roof, a group of Bracknellovians must have transported the concrete mass on rolling logs, pulling the back one out and sticking it to the front again, you know, like that. Mr Reynolds is certain that the difficulty and danger involved in such a task would have resulted in several deaths, especially as those involved must have been absolutely shit-faced on a Saturday night to even think of trying it.
