Bluestone Quarry?
littlebluemountain Started conversation Aug 9, 2008
You say thast the bluestone quarry was at Carn menyn (Carn Meini). Not so -- there is no quarry there, and never was. The Stonehenge bluestones come from at least 7 different sites, and possibly as many as 15. There are many stones at Stonehenge that are demonstrably NOT from Carn Meini -- even HH Thomas knew that, back in 1923. The Open University work in the 1990's dealt with this issue in detaiul -- so can you please stop repeating this nonsensical piece of mythology and pretending that it is the truth?
