Isn't this missing the point a bit. You don't have to be religious to understand the idea of 'sanctity'. I don't have direct experience of having my ears sliced off, but I have an idea that it might hurt.

I'd dispute this. We couldn't expect to get much more evidence than we have that there were concepts of sanctity in prehistoric Britain. The dead were treated with respect, and placed in specific areas relating to the landscape. Why did these practises take place if not for some religious or spiritual purpose? Why bother creating sites that required such great human effort for earthly purposes (and by that I mean non-supernatural in a conventional sense)?
