And maybe it's the 'there' that's the point of interest here. Places like Avebury and Stonehenge have been sort of 'requisitioned' by various groups/individuals to serve/symbolize their beliefs/causes when a new, large and impressive stone stone circle (for example) would be a more meaningful way of 'moving on' :-)
But then Stonehenge would never have gotten past phase one ;)
Chuckle... but on a serious note they (the Stonehenge builders at various stages) quite happily pulled down and rearranged the work of their predecessors and then molded the structure to serve their own needs. Modern-day Druids etc (at Stonehenge) seem to be harping back to an imaginary past and asking that things should or should not be done there using an argument with little or no basis in fact.
Alternatively, do modern-day Druids etc have a legitimate right to create something new there? Maybe they do, but not by saying 'their' Stonehenge is based on historical fact :-)
