> So, we are talking about the erection of one of the inner horseshoe of trilithons at Stonehenge, utilising the stones used by the BBC in their experiment.

That's the idea, if we can get permission to use them.

> both uprights would have to go into the same hole

Yes, you're probably right. From the pictures I've seen of the BBC trilithon there's not much space between the stones.

> followed by the raising of a lintel, twenty feet above the ground on its tower, for lateral movement onto the uprights.

24 feet, I believe.

> I can foresee a few serious problems!

The more forsight we have, the better. Please let us know what problems you anticipate.

> Do we know the dimensions of the BBC stones?

Not exactly. Gordon has some pictures, which I have seen, but not accurate dimensions. The stones are about 32 feet long and the top "half" (I use that term very loosely) has a distinct taper.
