Contents: Special Stonehenge issue This is a special issue devoted to some very interesting news about Stonehenge. Specifically, it's the discovery of a dismantled stone circle near the Stonehenge bluestone quarries in west Wales, which raises the possibility that a 900-year-old legend about Stonehenge being built from an earlier stone circle contains a grain of truth.
