"But come on now, you can not seriously believe that Stonehenge is a one family thing. Stonehenge is so much more than just a circle of big stones ... its a landscape in its own right."

No I don't, which is to some extent why I mentioned Silbury. I was trying to make the point that Gordon's method should not be denigrated just because it uses small numbers. A small workforce is an advantage whatever the project. The population of Britain was pretty small at that time (sorry I don't have any numbers) and they built a huge number of megalithic structures. Manpower estimates based on hauling imply a huge expenditure of effort per head of population. Any theory that would point to a reduction of these estimates ought to be taken seriously.
