Stonehenge: legends of floating stones (F. Rose-Troup)

View

Sir,—Can there be any connection between the transport of stones by sea to Stonehenge and the legends of several Celtic saints who floated across on millstones from Ireland or Wales to convert the heathens in Britain? Both St. Decuman and St. Dubricius, if I mistake not, were of that number, which points to the Bristol Channel and the Avon as the moreCutting damaged: last 2 letters guessed usual route.—Yours faithfully,
Frances Rose-Troup.
