Never had any interest in looking at a bunch of rocks that have no meaning whatsoever. At least the Zimbabwe Ruins is more interesting!You are welcome to all of them
Don't let a Druid hear you say that, he /she , will talk about them until dawn.Never had any interest in looking at a bunch of rocks that have no meaning whatsoever. At least the Zimbabwe Ruins is more interesting!
It’s not just the henge that I find interesting but the whole surrounding area with its ancient earthworks and Durrington Walls; where in fact there aren’t any walls.Never had any interest in looking at a bunch of rocks that have no meaning whatsoever. At least the Zimbabwe Ruins is more interesting!
Actually - many are Welsh...Only one of the stones - most of them are English.

The big ones came from the Fyfield area near Avebury. The smaller ones came from south wales. If you park up on the Ridgeway from A4 east of Avebury you can go into the ancient field system and if you know where to look there is a Sarsen stone with grooves in it where axe heads were formed and honed. An astonishingly interesting area and one not visited by many grockles from Avebury.Actually - many are Welsh...
Apart from the Altar stone which has recently been determined as from Scotland, the source of the others has been known for many years. Like most research there are costs, but to a geologist it was probably not that onerous a task. I’m fascinated by the history of how they were potentially transported, plus the recent discoveries relating to the size of population living nearby to service the Henge and other artefacts. An ancient version of HPC.I wonder what the cost was for finding out where the stones came from as in a month's time no will will care where they come from as long as they can gawk at some upright stones. Castles with history are far more interesting. Maybe the stones came from Easter Island and are related?![]()

There was an excellent BBC documentary on the source of the Bluestones a few years ago. I just found the link on i-PlayerApart from the Altar stone which has recently been determined as from Scotland, the source of the others has been known for many years.

Thank you I’ve saved that to watch. Prof Alice Roberts……….. my Profs were never that attractive. Only had one female prof at Loughborough and she lectured on Design. But we disagreed when I told her I thought her car was ugly. An NSU Prinz.There was an excellent BBC documentary on the source of the Bluestones a few years ago. I just found the link on i-Player
