I've heard something similar argued about Henges, perhaps by John North though I can't be sure. It was about how there could have been power games going on in henge building that were not present to as great an extent in stone circles. With a henge the people who are standing outside cannot see what is going on within, was the basic point. I'm not sure how much I agree, mind. I tend to see henges as quite communal, inclusive places - big dancefloors, or something of the sort.
