Bluestonehenge: An ancient alignment revealed
Digital archaeologist Henry Rothwell was working on graphics for a smartphone app about the world famous monument of Stonehenge and the wider landscape, and required imagery for the Bluestonehenge section. What followed was a discovery that shines new light onto the ancient alignments of the henge monuments.
Using an image by archaeological photographer Adam Stanford, taken during the excavations on The Stonehenge Riverside Project, Rothwell created a digital circle of stones and overlaid the images. In discussion with Adam Stanford, he realised that a stone hole had been missed from the reconstruction on the far right. This prompted Henry to return to the digital model and increase the circumference to take in the ‘extra’ hole, however it looked too large and no longer fitted well with the other stone holes.

Photoshop’s elliptical marquee tool was utilised to get an idea of the possible layout of the unexcavated post holes and it quickly became apparent that an oval layout matched the excavated holes far better than a true circle. A new oval model of Bluestonehenge was rebuilt and the observation was emailed to individuals who were involved with the dig to seek their opinion.
The Comparisons
Mike Pitts, discussed the new model on his blog (Digging Deeper) in which he wrote “..a corollary of being oval, rather than circular, is that you have an orientation” (Pitts, 2011). He also mentioned two other ovals in the area – one inside Stonehenge, and the other at Woodhenge.

computer hard-drive, so he pasted the new oval into the models. The Bluestone Oval fitted exactly in size, shape and orientation with all the others. Woodhenge and Stonehenge were perfect matches for orientation and shape – at this point Henry tried another bluestone oval, that of Bedd Arthur. in the Preseli mountains of Wales.

A further connection?
Bedd Arthur is more of an elongated tear-drop than an oval, and also displays a much lesser degree of symmetry than any of the other sites mentioned here. It is, none-the-less, of interest that its orientation, size, and the material used in its construction are the same as the Bluestone Oval at Stonehenge and is worthy of further investigation.
Stonehenge and Woodhenge are famously aligned on the mid-summer and mid-winter solstices. If the new model of Bluestonehenge is correct, it also shares this alignment. Essentially, it would add weight to the hypothesis that Durrington Walls and Stonehenge were connected – here are three oval shaped monuments sharing a common alignment and connected via the river Avon.
Of course, alignments can be misleading, but this startling discovery is worth further investigation.
A future dig might prove one, or possibly both models wrong – uncertainty is a constant companion to archaeology, but that’s not such a bad thing – in many ways it’s also one of the properties which makes the discipline so stimulating.
