…Most of the sarsens, or sandstone boulders, came from West Woods in the English county of Wiltshire, researchers explain, citing the chemical composition of the stones. The sarsens are up to 30 feet tall and can weigh as much as 25 tons… link |

Yes, this was on yesterday's UK news. Still impressive that they hauled these huge stones 15 or so miles. |

Strange how I read about this in 1970, is 50 years since, the "ancient" they were talking about ? |

I always thought that since the stones came from Wales that whales moved them. Appears I was wrong. I blame an old documentary for my poor knowledge. YouTube link |

Blue stones from Wales, sarsens more local, IIRC. |
