Wot he said, bigtime.
And I too haven't employed circular reasoning and I too don't think glaciation is not a possibility, certainly up to Somerset anyway.

But I don't agree there is far less uncertainty about glacial transport. One main reason is exactly what you yourself said: "How far inland? Still uncertain".

If I go out in my local ploughed field I can pick up hundreds of pebbles in ten minutes and no two will be the same or from the same place, due to glacial transport. When I go in a ploughed field on Salisbury Plain, I can't. I'd need that explaining before I agreed there was a strong probability the bluestones were delivered by nature and not fetched from many miles away.
