A couple of nice photos from Myfanwy of Maenclochog, or whatever her name is today. The top photo is of the surface of the Altar Stone at Stonehenge, and the bottom one which looks a bit similar but not all that similar) might come from the other Mill Bay, near Dale at the mouth of Milford Haven. There are ORS rocks there, but they are not equivalent stratigraphically to the Senni Beds or the Cosheston Formation. Since nobody now seems at all certain where the Altar Stone has come from, this just adds to the confusion.
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...
