Roman Stonehenge?

I mentioned a couple of days ago an article I came across about ‘The History of the Kings of Britain ‘ by Geoffrey of Monmouth. There are many stories about Geoffrey himself, but he is supposed to have been a Welsh monk who lived in the twelfth century. To a certain extent his history has been discredited but Miles Russell who is a senior lecturer at Bournemouth University, has been thinking again about what Geoffrey write.

Geoffrey wrote that Stonehenge was erected by the post-Roman king, Aurelius Ambrosius; it was set up to commemorate the victims of the Saxons and thanks to Merlin, the stones were transported from Ireland to the site we can now see. Miles Russell argues that the blue-stones of the henge did come from the west, not as far west as Ireland,  but from Wales. Russell tells us that archaeological evidence has uncovered post-Roman ‘activity’ round the henge, and the stones which we admire were reshaped and reset at the time the actual historical Ambrosius lived.
