Remember this story 5 years ago? http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/wales/south_west/5072664.stm

OU geologists saying they'd analysed bluestone axe heads found at Stonehenge and found they'd come from different locations in the Presellis ergo backing up their earlier work on the bluestones themselves and pointing at glaciation.

Not sure why the origin of the bluestones and the origin of the axes are necessarily connected. Nor actually why "different locations" automatically indicates glaciation. Doesn't WKLB have "foreign" stone incorporated into it?
