Ishmael,

Wasn't the climate warmer then? The Avon isn't always frozen now, so wouldn't river transport have been easier then in December?
Out of interest, is there any hard archaeological evidence of regular transport in the Neolithic/Bronze Age between the two sites?

Cheers,
TE.

The climate is still a matter for debate.
As for the a route between Durrington and Stonehenge there is no obvious route overland.
The Durrington to Stonehenge by river route is only if you are going to use the Avenues in one direction.
Why not the other way around?
Bury your dead at Stonehenge (ashes scattered in the wind) walk the avenue to the river boat and nip up to Durrington travel lodge for a McPigRoast?
