The communal aspect of the building of monuments is also found at sites like the henge and mound at North Mains of Strathallan where separate "bays" were part of the construction , a similar idea is found at the massive Blackhouse Burn monument . Of course the interpretation may be due to the political mindset of the archaeos and it was really just the most appropriate way for the slaves to build it .

That's the 'one finger points forward, three point back' principle. Any act of interpretation will speak more of the interpreter than the original text - perhaps. But then construction of the causewayed enclosures fits the family unit construction theory very well.
