The British museum did a Stonehenge exhibit a few years ago, wasn’t expecting much but it was actually pretty fascinating. There’s tons of henges and a lot of the stone ones have rock from nowhere near where they were erected.
Study says people hauled Stonehenge stone 700 kilometers

Must have been difficult back in those times before they invented locally-sourced stone

I agree that they probably were moved from somewhere.
Otherwise they would have just been there already which would be super weird.
