Silbury was white, the Stonehenge stones came from the Marlborough downs.
It makes more sense to me to look for Absense of stones, not search in a large stonedrift.
Dragging or rowing large 60 ton+ sarsens over a field of smaller stones would probably make Gordon P break down and weep at the very thought.
As Gordon said "I row the stones this way because I'm lazy"
NeoMan probably thought about the easiest way also.
Its such a shame that most of Salisbury plain is still under Army rule as there are places there that need looking at again as a source of a sarsen drift.
