"Boulders at Stonehenge were taken to the monument's site by humans, rather than dragged there by glaciers,"



So much, so obvious.  It would be a weird glacier that collected up bluestones and dumped them conveniently on site. I think the debate is really "How far did they drag them and from where?"
