If those 1,500 pounds were found in contact with each other in that one hole (as
the article seems to be saying) then would you not agree that it was probably a
single 1,500+ pound piece that has rotted in situ? Wherther or not the
description of the find is accurate isn't solidly established, but if it was
found as described-- 1,500 pounds, one hole, close contact with each other, I
don't think it unfair to think it was from a 1,500+ pound individual.

There is more detail and a photo in this version of the article that I posted a
few days ago:
