I guess you get your stones near at hand (common sense) or far away (ritual need). You'd only believe in the existence of the latter motivation if you had evidence of them ignoring the former, and I'm not sure if there's much evidence of that.

I think you are right - Just pondering the ritual reasons (or lack of them) to build stone monuments in some locations rather than others.

The west country has, by far, more stone workings than the east. I can only put this down to available materials.

Thank you
