That observation has already been made in comments to Simon Jenkins' article in the Guardian (scroll down in said article). Personally I'm more interested in whether there might be any validity in Jenkins' argument, or any other 'sensible' comments on it, and the ideas advanced in Wainwright and Darvill's research.

I saw the article and the Holy Well connection and was fully expecting Goff to come along shouting Told Yer.

To my mind there seems to be a bit of a forced linkage between the healing springs and the bluestones. Why shouldn't the stones have been revered for any other number of reasons?
