Sorry to upset you so much. And your totally right, I'd hate to be kicked out of my home on someone elses whim. I wasn't condoning what happened to the village/ houses, i was just stating that he did a pretty good job of reconstruction (after all holes in the chalk bedrock seem to give an obvious indication of something being there). You may be right about Stonehenge not looking like it did 2500 years ago, but lets be honest, we'll never really know how it really looked or functioned (unless some genius builds a time machine...and that's pretty unlikely).
And as to tree felling, I'm with you totally. But let's not forget it was our 'forward thinking' tree hugging, momma loving, in harmony with nature (alledged) ancestors who cleared most of the UK tree's way back in the Neolithic (you've only gotta see the Highlands to appreciate what a vast amount of destruction our forbears were capable of).
I've never been to Avebury, and have only been to a couple of 'festies' at Stonehenge where no one was allowed near the stones.
World Heritage 'show piece' sites are not the big draw for me, i prefer the small, personal and mundane (well for some).
Again sorry to piss you off, guess i didn't explain myself well enough.
