Well Josh and co only worked on the section immediatly after the Longstones barrow.
their 2003 report is very contradictory in that it says the Beck ave deffo finshed at the Cove (Unless there is an undiscovered anomoly which carries it further)
and the Kennt ave may have reverted to a single line of stones or there was a break before it carried onto the sanctuary.
Ho Hum.
I find it interesting that there is another Henge in the landscape which is now ploughed out (echoes of Thornborough eh?)
My air pics are being studied again with a different focus :)
Time to get back into the air eh?

Yeah, knew that, but if the 'other' henge is already recorded, you'da thought they'd want to try that end out
