Last year the unearthing of a so called "workers village" at Durrington Walls was in the news and claimed to be the homes of the hundreds of workers who built Stonehenge. Remains of nine houses were uncovered some fifteen foot by fifteen. Prof Parker Pearson estimated that the total number of houses in the village may have been as high as 25.
To me 25 small huts seems insufficent to hold the numbers of workers traditionally thought to be needed to move the sarsens from the downs to Stonehenge.
As anyone further information on this village?
