Welcome to the granary at Stonehenge, a website dedicated to an entirely new theory about the ancient use of Stonehenge.
Could it be that modern archaeologists have it wrong about the ancient use of Stonehenge by neolithic humans? Perhaps the great stone ring was not solely a religious site but a magnificent grain-working mill as well.
Consider for a moment that Stonehenge is located on the Salisbury plains, still a grain growing region of England. Consider that it was built by neolithic people who were just entering the agricultural age and were dependent on cereal grains. Consider that the elevated stone ring at Stonehenge was very flat and circular and would have been a perfect grind way for working grain. Consider that the stones used at Stonehenge are made of a very hard sandstone called sarsen, the same stone previously used for thousands of years to make grain-grinding querns by neolithic farmers.
Read further and discover how this unusual theory fits the archaeological evidence on the ground at Stonehenge better than any other existing theory.
It is always difficult to change long held scientific theories and this thesis challenges all that we know about Stonehenge. It is up to you to examine the evidence and draw your own conclusions.
The grain and the stones are connected.
The owners of this site, Clyde Hollifield and Michael Whitney, have created this theory of the ancient use of Stonehenge and have built a working model in order to prove that Stonehenge, as a mechanical mill, would have been possible.
