The the long and rectangular house tradition came from the Mesolithic.
In Britain the long house gradually gave way to the round house, although I believe Clive Waddingtons Mesolithic house at Howick is round.
This movement from the linear structure to the circle is also reflected in monuments.
I recommend Richard Bradley's book "The Signifcance of Monuments" for a decent overview.
