Stonehenge 181
Image by The Eternal

Oh come on. Stonehenge was named for it's hanging stones, i.e the lintels. Yes, any other henge is misnamed, but as 'henge' had come to describe the monument as opposed to the hanging stones (and it was a while ago). I think we can excuse the terminology. Anyway, in that case Stonehenge is the only henge that CAN call itself a henge.
Having had it pointed out to you that you have used completely the wrong word to describe your contraption cannot be dismissed with the words 'small point'.
Someone mentioned to me the 'ratchet-theory' i.e. any small point made to enhance a theory is jumped upon and used to advance ones ideas but, like a ratchet spanner, this is one way traffic and one chooses to dismiss any points that serve to show it to be unfeasible.
May I echo the comments of my fellow contributors and thank you again for your polite replies and gracious behavior, but may I also suggest you read through all these posts, put the kettle on, sit back and have yourself a serious re-think.

Respectfully,

Mark

Nicely put, Mr Spaceship.

Along similar lines to Mark's "rachet theory" comment, I'd also add that a good spellchecking of your writing would also enhance your credibility. OK, so the mis-type "stonehinge" above might have made me laugh, but continual incorrect spelling doesn't look good in an academic theory. Not that I'm a great speller myself, you understand!

My feelings exactly. And one reason I've not commented beyond amplifying a cuppla other peoples' comments, such as Jimit (& others) who've asked about soil samples.

On that point, I also must say that I find it very hard to believe that with all the excavations that have been made, nobody's come across that evidence of the detritus of milling. (Or not commented on it.)

I also find it hard to believe that the stones were ever smooth enough to work in the way you describe.

As far as I'm concerned, come back when there's some evidence.
