Sigh... 

British archaeologists are desperately clinging to the romantic fantasies about the Neolithic and Stonehenge that they spent a couple centuries building up.  But they have no real evidence or arguments to deny what the geologists (like Brian John) have been saying for a while.

Neolithic Britons did not quarry stones for their monuments.  They did not need to.  Southern England is peppered with "erratics" -- blocks, slabs, and pillars of stones of many types that were formed very far away, and were carried there by glaciers and icebergs millions of years ago, when most of Britain was underwater.   Yes, the bluestones came from Wales, and the Altar Stone from Northeast Scotland -- but not by human hands. 

Even the sarsen stones are remains of a layer of hardened sandtone rock that covered the region, overlying layers of limestone and clay [2].  Slab-like fragments of that sandstone layer were left behind as the softer layers under it were eroded, and are found all around Stonehenge [1] -- not just at their alleged "quarry" 20 miles away.

Neolithic people merely erected, shifted, aligned etc the blocks that were lying around.   Most other erratics have been broken up and removed in the last two centuries, mostly to clear the fields for mechanized architecture and to make ballast stones for highways and railroads [2].
