Stonehenge's "altar stone" likely originated in present-day Scotland , a study says.

The researchers suspect the altar stone was installed about 4,500 years ago .

It was hauled more than 450 miles to southern England .

The finding raises profound questions about how Neolithic people were able to move hundreds of miles .

The researchers hope to pinpoint the exact outcropping or region where the rock originated.
