It didn't sound like you were disputing, the opposite if anything. I don't know enough about the evidence of the period in question, but I don't see any reason why megaliths would have to require settlement or farming as a pre-cursor.

The idea that some change in the prehistoric mindset would have been needed before megalithic monuments could be contemplated, now that is an idea I like a lot. The manipulation of the physical environment to effect a manipulation of the psychological/magical environment kind of thing. It pre-supposes a shift in perception of the environment. If this shift was to result in organised stoneshifting, I guess it must have been occurring in more than one brain at a time. But as to how such patterns would spread? Wey, I have no idea. Maybe if Sheldrakey morphic resonance is invoked it would provide a leg up for the required leap of faith. It's fascinating stuff though.
