Sounds to me like some kind of cattle pen, but what do I know.

I thought the atmosphere around Stonehenge was a bit spooky

Distant relatives on my dad’s side of the family built Stonehenge...
(at least, that’s the family legend)
To: BenLurkin
My English uncle laughed at me for wanting to see Stonehenge. I guess it’s similar to the way we in MA feel about Plymouth Rock. But at least Plymouth Rock has no admission fee.

I visited Stonehenge 50 years ago and there was no admission fee. There was no fence around it, no guards, it just stood in an open field, we 3 were the only people there. When I thought about how long ago it had been built it made me kind of emotional.

Not many neopagan kooks mooning about either. ;)

It was meant to function as a signal.

You beat me to it. We solved this one years ago.
To: BenLurkin
Because it was large 14.7ft (4.5metres) in diameter the team thinks it was used for rituals as a marker of some kind. Well, that should pretty much solve the mystery.

He also found a huge pit at the eastern end of the Curcus,It might help these people's credibility if they knew how to use spell checker. (Circus)
To: BenLurkin
He also found a huge pit at the eastern end of the Curcus, which is today 3ft (1metre) underground...
As opposed to being 3ft above ground?
Sorry, it’s just confusing.

I absolutely love to hear about these new findings at Stonehenge.
My Grandfather from Scotland introduced me too Stonehenge and curried my interest in the monument long ago when I was a wee girl. I only wish he were alive today to read these findings.
We are privileged to have these insights. At the time he was alive they knew so little about it. He would find this all so fascinating.

Curcus is actually correct. The Curcus Barrows is apparently a mass grave site of some kind.
