Thanks for that.

I agree about the timber and marshlands. I assume that the Italian Chappies had better technology for transporting heavy goods such as stone.

Although you would have thought that areas such as Hampstead & Highgate would have been prime sites for megalithic structures. This, of course, doesn't take into account any of the spiritual or scientific reasons for erecting circles etc...

Maybe they never wanted to build these spiritual structures in populated areas, which London would have been at that time. Stonehenge is still in the middle of nowhere and was specifically built on a in a very romote location.

Ah! What reasons would they be then?? Enquiring minds want to know...

I suspect Hamsptead / Highgate may have been a little too 'woody' at that time...
