Here is a question that has been haunting me for a while. We all know about the mesolithic post holes discovered beneath what is now the car park at Stonehenge. It is of course tempting to assume some kind of continuity of site usage over the thousands of years separating them from first work on the ditch and interior bank that in time would contain the monumental stone structures. Problem is, what if anything is there in the way of evidence that the post holes and what became stonehenge were not discontinuous developments? What kind of evidence would we be looking for? One way to start could be to look for apparent alignments involving the positioning of the posts on the one hand and various features or elements of the later stonhenge structures on the other. Does anyone have any thoughts or, even better, facts relating to this? Is the truth out there?
