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.

Now and then I will muse on related Stonehenge topics which have an Ice Age dimension...

The Bluestone Enigma
After several reprints, this book has now sold out of stock. English Heritage snaffled up the last 100 copies not long ago, presumably for the Stonehenge shop........

The new book will be coming soon. Watch this space.....

Be interesting to hear archaeologist writer and editor Mike Pitts' reaction to your new edition, since he has said in print that "indications of quarrying at a known bluestone outcrop" are "admittedly controversial" [British Archaeology, May/June 2018. page 31]. Amazing that he has made even this coy remark!
