The site is far more likely to be similar to Durrington Walls than either Stonehenge or Avebury.

No stones at Durrington Walls.

Baza,

Agreed, but who knows what may come up? Hope it's stone holes, me? What about you?

Regards,

I have no hopes for what they may find.

I believe that there have already been enough investigations of the henge to have discovered any stone setting, if it had existed.

Already, this most recent dig has found signs of a settlement. You don't come across buildings within stone circles, or most henges.

At Durrington Walls, Mike Parker Pearson stood on a neolithic floor and told me: "You can't see another one of these this side of Skara Brae." Right now, you can.
