## Where it stands

**Still possible** Its tests haven't settled it: one piece of evidence for, none against. It needs two reviews to be accepted.

## What it predicts

- A Welsh site with stone holes matching Stonehenge bluestones and dates between 3400 and 3000 BC.

## What would rule it out

- Direct dating showing the stones went from quarry to Stonehenge without delay.
