So it wasn't a stone henge after all but a stone circle. I'm surprised they made that mistake on their own website.
Negativity alert .Anyway who cares, I thoroughly enjoyed it anyway. I thought the mesolithic aspect was particularly interesting that it was still being reveered in the bronze age.
A bit like the totem poles at Stonehenge or the neolithic long house found at Warren Field in Aberdeenshire recently which was near to a large mesolithis post alignment.
The mound reminded me of a book I read recently called a gathering night, set is Scotland in the mesolithic. They used a sacred mound for rituals to contact animal spirits. Would be good to get others views.
I thought it was one of the best episodes as most of the prehistoric ones tend to be and it's definitely whetted my appetite even more for a trip to the dartmoor sites.
There seemed an undue haste in ascribing the post hole and some of the flint to the mesolithic .
The pit alignment at Warren Field like others asscociated with the Scots "timber halls "didn't hold timber .
Totem poles at Stonehenge ? we don't know that .
I enjoyed the prog though .
