“Why would you move 75 large stones just so you could dance around twice a year? If you put a roof on it you can use it all year.”

Archaeologists are increasingly discovering megaliths across the continent – albeit a small number so far – that were previously put up in earlier monuments.

“It is ... likely that the stones were first used in a local monument, somewhere near the quarries, that was then dismantled and dragged off to Wiltshire.” -Archaeologist Mike Parker Pearson
