Ahem indeed!
The thing for me is, if the Presellis were a sacred or important site, there is a kind of rationale for building them into Stonehenge. If on the other hand, they were simply glacial 'erratics', I don't see why they would have been any more important than any other kind of stone.

You may be right. I'm no expert, and have the greatest respect for Aubrey Burl. I just think the transportation theory makes more sense (and seems to fit in with other theories/myths as to their origin).
