Would have been good if they had discussed some of the other comparable big, timber posted henge monuments like Mount Pleasant etc to see if there was any support for their theories there.

Funniest thing was watching the squaddies building the timber circle 'replica'. I bet thats not what they signed up for!

In view of the last time soldiers built henges (1930's Nazi Germany) I'm sure there's a story in the military henge building concept ... 'From Deutchland to Durrington' perhaps ... seriously though, if we see Harry and Wills henge building we'll know something's up! Oh yeah, aren't they part German too? Oh well ...
lets call it 'Kraut Rock and the Rollrights' ... actually, isn't it kind of nice to see squadies building henges ... maybe they did sign up for that! What about the Sarsen Light Henge Builders rapid reaction force or the Nine Maidens Para's ...
