Stonehenge discovery highlights 500-mile mystery - as central stone 'didn't come from Wales'

  • Prof Nick Pearce expressed shock at the Altar Stone's origin, stating "it blew our socks off" when the discovery was made.
  • Researchers will explore how the Altar Stone, over 700 kilometers away, was transported, with one possibility being it was brought on a raft along the coast.
