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

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.

It was meant to function as a signal.

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)

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.

Mike Parker Pearson was a friend and colleague of hubby’s when we lived in the UK and has done some extensive studying of Stonehenge. Ran across a show on History Channel the other day that featured him....but can’t remember the title.

It was built as a joke to make someone a thousand years later scratch his head in bewilderment.

Historians are not sure what purpose the Curcus served and Professor Gaffney as a ‘bloody great barrier to the north of Stonehenge.’

I still say, as I have for years, that Stonehenge was a tavern.
