Please excuse my ignorance. I'm new to the site and want to develop the very basic knowledge that I have about the megalithic sites in the British Isles. Fantastic site btw.
There has been mention of the London Stones and, in other posts regarding the south east, that they are rare due to the lack of local stone. Surely if the people of the time had wanted to erect such features they would have imported stone as they did for Stone Henge and other sites.
Is it more likely that as the South East became more populated that the stones and sites were cannibalised for building materials and built upon, thus eradicating the historical records?
Sorry to sound like a rank amateur, but then again I am.
Many thanks,
