Origin of sarsens identified
In July 2020, a study lead by Professor David Nash from the University of Brighton concluded that the large sarsen stones were "a direct chemical match" to those found at West Woods near Marlborough, Wiltshire, some 15 miles (25km) north of Stonehenge. A core sample, originally extracted in 1958, had recently been returned. This was analysed, along with the fifty-two sarsens, using methods including x-ray flourescence spectrometry to determine their chemical composition. These were compared with stone samples from various locations in southern Britian. Fifty of the fifty-two samples were found to match sarsens in West Woods, therefore identifying the origin of the stones.
