Great stuff.
Interesting what PastScape concludes with:-

'There are no traces of associated linear banks or earthworks. The origins and purpose of the enclosure remains obscure but the effort required to both excavate or import material for a bank of such proportions and to erect the slabs suggests that it had a more important function than just an animal pound'.

I totally agree, for me as soon as you look to Brittany it makes a lot more sense, and is the best way to guess it's age [late neolithic - early bronze age i'd say], I "feel" ritual and i felt it there [as it sounds like you did too], an animal pound no matter how flash wouldn't "feel" like that, I can't help thinking of a sacred pond, a ancient man made Dozmany pool if you like [a bit smaller granted], but with Arthur links again, I wonder if the middle is empty of finds because if it was a sacred pond it could be full of finds and offerings [They'd soon excavate it if they thought that].

Odd that they don't mention the A.S. Lewis survey in the biblography .
