Henge corrals?

Hi, Littlestone,

>I see no reason why Stonehenge should not also have been similarly enclosed (though I hasten to add that I'm not saying it was :-) As for roofing it, I'm not an engineer but wouldn't the trilithons been able to support beams from the centre to the outer ring of lintels?<

I saw something like this on display in the Civic Centre here in Plymouth; it was a few years back (maybe 1998/9), but the chappie had some very interesting ideas, and I think he used all the holes (including the Aubrey Holes, and the inner ring of Y & Z holes) in his model. It was a big roof, rather like the reconstructed ones IA ones in Somerset and the Fen's, but much larger. Of course, now I remember it, do you think I can find reference to it on the Web? :-)


Peace

The enormous weight of the thatch though?

Great stuff Pilgrim - haven't read all of your link yet but it's fun to speculate on all the various 'maybes'.

Some speculations are inevitably going to fall by the wayside but that shouldn't stop us from tossing ideas around and giving the 'professionals' a run for their money :-)
