'Only a handful of bluestones?' Indeed! Odd, isn't it?	Posted by Evergreen Dazed 1st March 2017ce
Oooh v political SC. No tunnel portal either!	Posted by Evergreen Dazed 1st March 2017ce
The more schematic Scala Mundi shows none. http://www.themodernantiquarian.com/img_fullsize/x150687.jpg.pagespeed.ic.kwQzCtTP8z.webp Perhaps medieval illustrators only could be arsed drawing the upright ones? Turfed over or tumbled and broken don't look too cool on yer vellum. Hard to get definition and perspective on what are already small images without cluttering it all up with tumbled detritus - though Lucas De Heere shows some quite edvanced european perspective technique. They were of course not intended to be full plans of the monument!	Posted by Howburn Digger 1st March 2017ce
The difference, I believe, is that the De Heere painting was from a visit rather than a description. Not that that means it should have to include those pesky bluestones, but it's something to think about.	Posted by Evergreen Dazed 1st March 2017ce
