Don't get C5 over here, but sounds like it was worth watching for the 'shady' bits.

Newgrange .... 95m in diameter and 15m tall is pretty feckin big innit! Knowth is slightly bigger and Dowth is taller.

Dowth used to be over 25m high and Silbury shaped ... hhhmmm

I have a visitor at the end of next week so I'll no doubt end up back at Newgrange (again), but then the girl's sister does live on Lewis so .....

Replying to FourWinds

it was based on Lionel Sims' work:

http://www.uel.ac.uk/social-sciences/staff/anthropology/lionel.htm#

he's in the London School of Samba, who I noticed were credited at the end.

he does a class on "Decoding Stonehenge" and "Anthropology of Carnival"

"His one hour feature film 'Stonehenge Rediscovered' looks at how the elites of ancient man used Stonehenge to pretend that they had the right to rule. "

sounds alright to me ...
