BHS ,as favoured by MPP etc (no evidence that bluestones were ever in the BHS sockets )

Thats interesting, i'm sure I read that bluestone chips were found in the holes? Were they BS chips that haven't been matched to the ones at SH, or were the chips different stone entirely?

Does the size of the stone holes suggest the bluestones could have been placed there?

There was a lot of BS about BHS in the early days , at one time it was even considered to be a four poster .There were suggestions of finds of bluestone in the pits initially but MPP eventually confirmed there were none .
The argument is that the size of the sockets are closer to stone holes than timber holes ,and they don't have the right shape for slab shaped sarsens reasonable enough but the same argument has been used about the Aubrey Holes and that has been debated . The BHS holes also had ramps alledgedly providing evidence for both insertion and removal .
