How much do we know about Stonehenge? Less than we think. And what has Stonehenge got to do with the Ice Age? More than we might think. This blog is mostly devoted to the problems of where the Stonehenge bluestones came from, and how they got from their source areas to the monument. Now and then I will muse on related Stonehenge topics which have an Ice Age dimension...

New map of suggested ancient glaciation
This map was made for an article by Lionel Jackson and myself in Earth Magazine -- strangely, the colours have gone mad. And the key has disappeared. Never mind -- you can still see the postulated ice cover, the postulated erratic train transportation route, and the Mynydd Preseli source area for some (indeed the majority) of the bluestones for which we still have physical evidence at Stonehenge.
Some of the evidence for glacial traces in the South-West is to be found here:
