There was a suggestion on the C5 show that the bluestones may have been brought to Salisbury by the original residents of Preseli. So what if these people had a belief that whenever someone died they would raise a stone to become the actual embodiment of the ancestor. If they subsequently decided to migrate to Salisbury, they may have felt compelled to bring their ancestors with them. This could explain why they went to so much trouble to move the stones rather than merely using more local stones.
Any thoughts?
