**Still possible** Answers **1** questionPublished0

## Where it stands

**Still possible** Its tests haven't settled it: one piece of evidence for, one against. It needs two reviews to be accepted.

## What it predicts

- Caithness-type sandstone erratics on the North Sea floor or the east coast; a source near the modelled ice path.

## What would rule it out

- A source outcrop outside any modelled south-eastward ice path.

## Evidence 1 for · 1 against

[Ice modelling gives a localised south-eastward path from Caithness towards Dogger Bank.](https://mysteriesdept.com/mysteries/stonehenge/evidence/EVD0CRWPSKC65DG/ice-modelling-gives-a-localised-south-eastward-path-from)
