The Standing Stones of Cornwall

I wanted to start a forum on Prehistoric Cornwall. The changing of people from the hunter-gatherers from about 10,000 BCE is extremely interesting. Then came the Celts and the germanic tribes. I'm especially interested in the Standing Stones throughout Cornwall (and Europe in general). How are they all related? There must have been communication for sorts between peoples to have common patterns and to find resources. How did they move such large stones long distances to finally stand where they are today?

Tom I agree the stones are fascinating - it seems many were aligned with the harvests and/or as religious and burial sites. As an aside, I can’t help but find the druids fascinating as well. I hope technology and new discoveries shed more and more light on this sooner than later.
