Carnac and other stone rows i.e. those on Dartmoor may or may not have been used seasonally , but practical ? Do tell .

Would you extend that to stone circles , cursus , henges , passage graves ,long barrows etc ?

Chalk phalluses might have been practical, but it's probably best we don't think about it.
