I would imagine they wanted Time Team to consider the possibility the upside down tree was a shaft burial, and not an altar.


What's a shaft burial? Never heard of them.


One of the ideas was that the upturned tree was a place for the excarnation of bodies, it was terribly difficult to get into the circle, there was only a narrow forked post for entrance, I suppose the closeness of the wooden posts would have kept the scavenging animals out...


Birds ? unless they were doing the business .
