Steve, I've already replied to Gordon that his questioning of whether they talked of a ramp was merely because they expected one was perfectly fair. I don't know the answer, which is why I suggested we do nothing about it except on advice from an expert.
I do think it would be high-risk to ignore it though. For all we know, it's accepted wisdom. The BBC may have selected that method for a reason. We need to know. As Gordon said a while ago we must go with the evidence.
It's not a question of nicely done. I certainly don't feel raising a stone high up feels right, having stood by an Avebury stone and imagined it, but it must be obvious that my main drive all along has been to do precisely what the evidence suggested, whatever it was, not spin it in any particular direction.
