“Have they any theories?”
“What is it? So many people visit Stonehenge and come away asking just that question. Was it built by the ancient Greeks? By little green men visiting Wiltshire in UFO’s? Was it a Druid temple? (No, no and no). But it was a temple, and it was built by the folk who lived on what is now Salisbury Plain four or five thousand years ago. Very often history can’t give us the answers to our questions – we simply do not know who built Stonehenge, or why, or what religion was practised there. We will probably never know because there were no written records, so we can only make what we hope are intelligent guesses, and historical novelists are as well placed to do that as historians. So this book is my guess, and a story of love, rivalry, treachery and a great mysterious temple.” —Bernard Cornwell
Good fiction read. How accurate is it? Who knows. It does give one possible explanation of how they could have done it.

This is my post:
“But the site where they quarried the Bluestones is 160 miles from the site they built Stonehenge.
Why did they go that far? Have they any theories?”
It is not about what Stonehenge IS or who built it.
