Re: Henges designed to exclude?

York Minster.
You have a large space with the medaevel cathedral built on an earlier christian structure built on a roman structure which may in turn be built over on a pre-roman structure.
The structure has been constantly altered to suit whatever form of christian worship is in vogue. There are burials beneath the floor of the church there are satelite burials, memorial stones and chapels around the minster and the road system is aligned to the minster.
The minster itself has narrow entrances a large open spaces and contains a number of chapels dedicated to different factions of the faith. There is even a chapel dedicated to fallen warriors and an area that tracks the movements of the heavens.
This building site has been in constant use for over two millenia and has evolved throughout that time.

Is it not possible that landscape around and within a henge could not have evolved in a similar way?
