Waun Mawn new references

All quiet on the western front......

Some people have got a bit confused about the two geological articles which confirm no link between Waun Mawn and Stonehenge.  It's a bit confusing because they were released in June into the public domain, although strictly they are not due to be published until October........  Don't ask me what the logic of all that is..........

They are both available via Researchgate, although if you want the full text you may have to request it from the lead author in each case.

My own assessments of the importance of these papers are already on this blog:
