Veterans on a mission to unearth rare Bluestone on Salisbury Plain
220Archaeology is being used as therapy for veterans and serving personnel who've struggled with injury or mental health, under the codename Operation Nightingale.
It's an unusual project that takes place on Salisbury Plain, somewhere many former or current servicemen or women will already be familiar with.
There the veterans and archaeologists are working together to search for the exceedingly rare Bluestone rocks, sourced only from the Preseli Hills in Wales, that are an integral part of Stonehenge and have yet to be discovered anywhere else.
