Really Old Stones.

There's a bouncy 'Stonehenge', by artist Jeremy Deller, touring the UK at the moment, but John recently visited 'the real thing'! He said, "...it was really interesting, and quite cool to be near something 5000 years old! Here are some pictures I took for the blog."

What I want to know is, how it is currently thought they managed to transport the big blue Sarcen stones from Wales...?

And now more Saxons...!
