Re: Radical solution proposed for Stonehenge by mountainman on Sunday, 31 August 2008

No -- many bluestone chips and fragments have been found in the LONG barrows in the Stonehenge area -- and in the Aubrey Holes and in the Cursus. Then there is the bluestone boulder that came from the Boles Barrow -- also a long barrow. Bluestones were on Salisbury Plain long before the first stone settings were made at Stonehenge. They were there because they were glacial erratics.

And they weren't very highly valued. They were simply used because they were there. the builders also used other erratics -- rhyolite, volcanic ash, sandstone etc. Some of those stones were rubbish as far as building was concerned -- but they used them because that was all they had.

Something is not right. This message is just to keep things from messing up down the road
