In this video we delve into the great Stonehenge Bluestone debate… questioning what we know about how a varied collection of ‘bluestones’ made their way from the Preseli Hills to the Salisbury Plain.
We start with a brief history of the last 400 years at Stonehenge.. Exploring research by antiquarians, archaeologists and geologists… demonstrating how professional and public opinion has changed over time and sharing our own journey through the last three decades of media coverage. Over the last decade, the topic has been dominated by claims made by Professor Mike Parker Pearson, involving ‘Bluestone quarries’ at Craig Rhos Y Felin and Carn Goedog, and a huge stone circle at Waun Mawn… Claims that were reported as fact by a wide range of media outlets, predominantly during the 2021 BBC documentary “Stonehenge – The Lost Circle Revealed”.
Because of the massive impact this BBC documentary had on public opinion… we felt we couldn’t properly address this topic without properly addressing the way in which evidence was interpreted throughout the documentary… Showing examples from the show, we explore the other legitimate interpretations available and tentatively offer our own conclusions.
Please feel free to comment your thoughts on the topic. Also a massive thanks to everyone who has been getting involved here and on Youtube.. Your feedback is invaluable and we’ve learned so much from you all. Lets keep on bothering those stones!
Diolch yn fawr. Thanks!
