There is some evidence that it was not a double ring in the absence of holes as shown in Figures 10.1 and 10.2. of the site referenced below. In 'Stonehenge, Exploring the Greatest Stone Age Mystery' by Mike Parker Pearson 2012 (a good read and well worth buying) it is described as an arc. Any information on this would be very gratefully received by the author of this post. It is very noticeable that the arc shows a particular interest in the East as per the sunrises progression and being built of stone forms a more permanent and stable structure. Further information and diagrams of this can be found in section 10 of - sites.google.com/site/originsofstonehenge/ (just copy link into the address bar) I think MPP'S view is that the there was a double arc to the north east but there were single stones at the south west . p 169 in the book and repeated in the slightly later paper "Stonehenge Remodelled ,although the evidence is minimal . In the same paper Darvill reckons that later activities had possibly eroded the evidence in the south west .
