| It seems to me that the argument for holy wells being prehistoric sites could equally apply to churches. They both: Are Christianised sites Are usually named after Christian saints Usually have a stone structure built in Christian times May have been used previously by non-Christians There's usually no visible or written evidence of any use prior to Christianity. Here's one of the churches on here which I don't think belongs: http://www.themodernantiquarian.com/site/4529 The presence of sarsens in the vicinity indicates to me that the stone wasn't used, if they had of been used then they wouldn't be merely sarsens.
