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 BOOK Some of the ideas discussed in this blog are published in my new book called "The Stonehenge Bluestones" -- available by post and through good bookshops everywhere. Bad bookshops might not have it.... To order, click HERE

The Devil's Stone at Shebbear
I just came across this wonderful photo by James Ravilious of the turning of the Devil's Stone at Shebbear in Devon. A little reminder that there are erratic boulders in the strangest of places.......

Clearly a marvellous photographer! I note he has exhibited at the renowned Beaford Centre in North Devon, as well as the National Photographic Centre in Bath.
We've discussed the Devil's Stone Shebbear in Posts a few years ago, oooh - aargh.
The above earlier comment would more accurately have been represented, in keeping with the North Devon/ 'Borchester Archer's' vernacular, as "oooh - aarrrh!"

He was also featured on Countryfile. Apparently they are working on a big new exhibition of his work. I have a fabulous book of his photos.
