This is less a new theory as a confirmatory study showing an old theory is less likely than the current front runner.
Reinstating an old theory to knock it down? I always assumed that the stones were transported. Surely we are beyond the "ancient people couldn't have done..." foolishness of a century ago.
Still favouring the Merlin flew them in by magic theory myself ;)

Erm...quite ;D
It was the giants I thought we all knew that.
If someone was giving out research grants for the long-abandoned glacial theory, I don't see why Mark and Alistair can't pitch a study "Did Stonehenge have a single origin? The evidence for Giant/Merlin collaboration"
Sounds like a month python sketch
It could certainly be up for an Ig-nobel prize.
