This is a puzzle that many archaeologists and historians are still trying to work out. The stones were moved before the invention of the wheel, prior to which the main method of transporting hugely heavy weights was on log rollers. This is the only way that anyone can yet think of as to how they got from Wales to where they are now, but if so, it must have taken a massive amount of effort, planning and determination on the part of the builders of Stonehenge.
