Interesting post entitled 'Moving the Bluestones' from Orion over on Britarch yesterday, and I quote -

> The stone #36 is a bluestone and is at Stonehenge. Although it is now a free standing stone, it seems to have originally been intended to be used as a lintel. Some of the bluestones that are now freestanding have obviously been tooled for some other purpose leading to the belief that the bluestones were originally set up differently either at Stonehenge or elsewhere.

Here are more tooled bluestones at Stonehenge they are now standing stones of the bluestone circle and bluestone horseshoe (or oval). Stone #150 seems to have been intended as a lintel as well as #36.
