Could an ancient cow’s tooth unlock the origins of Stonehenge?

Isotopes shows animal began life in Wales, adding weight to theory cattle used in hauling stones across country

A cow's tooth from a jawbone deliberately placed beside the entrance to Stonehenge at the Neolithic monument's very beginning in 2995 to 2900BC could offer tantalising new evidence about how the stones were transported about 125 miles from Wales to Salisbury Plain.

Analysis of the third molar tooth showed the animal began life in Wales, adding weight to a theory that cows were used as beasts of burden in hauling the enormous stones across the country.
