"The LONGER haul: Scientists believe Neolithic Britons carried 50lb stones 280 miles to build enclosures near Avebury Henge... 100 miles FURTHER than rocks used to create Stonehenge
Researchers discovered that stones originated from Northumberland
They were found in West Kennet, near Avebury henge in Wiltshire
Stones may have been carried 280 miles, almost double the distance covered by Pembrokeshire bluestones that formed Stonehenge 5,000 years ago"
"Researchers have discovered that the stones used in the construction of 'palisade enclosures' near Avebury henge, around 20 miles from Stonehenge, originated around 280 miles away.
In total, archaeologists found 77 pieces of granite – known as grus – at West Kennet, which is just under a mile from the famous stone circles at Avebury.
They discovered that the stones, which collectively weighed around 48 pounds (22kg), came from Northumberland's Cunyan Crags.
If they were carried south by people, the distance would be almost double the miles covered by the Pembrokeshire bluestones that formed Stonehenge 5,000 years ago."
Something is not right. This message is just to keep things from messing up down the road
