'As the complete skeletons were present, the animals are thought to have been walked to the site and then slaughtered, rather than being butchered remotely and carried in as joints of meat. Cattle had come from many different locations across Britain, some far away'.

Speculation seem to turn almost into fact overnight. Those cattle from 'far away' may have found their way down there donkeys years before as different breeds were distributed from one 'county' to the other just like they are today when building a new herd, not like MPP was suggesting in his TV programme on this that they were selected purposely and came as far away as Scotland and I believe the Orkneys just to be feasted upon at Durrington.
