I don't know if any of you are familiar with the theory that the bluestones came from Somerset? It makes interesting reading:

I can't get my head round why no other circles in Birtian (that I know of) use stones from so far away...


There is a major flaw in his theory that the bluestones come from a glacial deposit around Glastonbury Tor.... how did they drag the stones across all that wet marshy ground to Stonehenge? If I remember rightly the old 'cordurory' tracks did have votive offerings in the marsh, one was dated 3200 bc, a jadeite axe, found under the Sweet Track..
