Scientists pinpoint Stonehenge’s 25 ton stones source in Wiltshire West Woods and settle a long debate

The likely quarry sat just hours away

New research traces most of Stonehenge’s massive sarsen stones to West Woods in Wiltshire, Britain. The finding suggests Neolithic people deliberately transported these 25 ton blocks across long distances, contradicting ideas that natural glacial movement shifted them. Researchers say the work points to extraordinary planning and coordination by prehistoric communities to build the iconic monument.
