Thread Name: BS: ancient village found near Stonehenge
Subject: RE: BS: ancient village found near Stonehenge
I find this fascinating because it gets me speculating that some of my direct ancestors were probably partying there. Given the DNA history of Cheddar man, it seems reasonable to me, as some of my relatives lived close by and the origin of their surname and proximity to Woad Hill would seem to indicate that they were at least up to their armpits in blue dye.

Perhaps their job at Stonehenge was to regularly paint the stones blue too, given that the bluestones at Stonehenge never have really been blue. LOL
