So, what would the Team think is the most likely method of shifting the stones over long or short distances...remembering that some stones (Avebury's Swindon stone for instance) is thought to be around 63 tons!!

I'm going to fence sit and guess at it either being a sensible mixture of the well documented suggested ways, but with an as yet unrecognised method yet to be discovered as my long shot.

I'd, personally, go back to "any means necessary"!

A combination of all the aforementioned methods, and any we've not covered yet. :D Anything to get the buggers in place, cos I doubt any glacial activity had the good grace to leave 'em laying in perfect circles! ;)

I reckon on the stone rowing (levers) combined with some good old fashioned pulling when necessary. Other than that they must have done it by any means necessary.

63 tons is large, but where there is the will (and man / oxon power) there is a way.
