If they found the grain (Just the one?) at the deepest level, wouldn't that imply that it was there at the earliest stage and not the latest?

I would have expected then to have found a lot more grain if it was a granary at some point. One grain doesn't make a granary. Interesting theory though and I am always intrigued by the interpretations people put on to megalithic structures.

My only other thought is that why would there only have been one at stonehenge? Surely there would be others?

I do love the make-your-own model that you have on your site though.

jim,

absolutely right. a point that you are missing here is that my theory contends that many stone circles (henges) were used for grain processing. see section 5 of my thesis.

this part of the theory is probably more important than stonehnege being the only mechanical mill.
i purpose that stonehenge (and others) were grain working areas from the very earliest age. it only became a mechanical mill in its last phase.
