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...

The Pont Ceunant Moraine -- another image
This is a fantastic image from the Bing web site, showing the area covered by the Pont Ceunant moraine. Pont Ceunant, near Newport, is a viaduct crossing a small stream -- it is located under the word "Morris" at the top of the image.
The morainic litter is quite extensive. There are some very subtle features showing up on the westernmost part of the area covered with reddish bracken -- south of the road and to left of centre.
I must get out there and examine them......
Seems like another walk is needed, is Chris about?

As far as I know, Chris is back in the Neths. The bracken is too high just now for hoofing about in that particular wilderness -- may well wait until it's died back a bit.
