Re: What is a Henge?

Erudite definitions abound, but what IS a henge? What were they for and how were they used? Anyone have a convincing theory? Please don't say "for ritual purposes"
Being pedantic - why do we call these circular earthworks "henges"? - only at Stonehenge is there anything hanging. Can we assume that wooden beams were hanging at woodhenge etc? Time for a more accurate term? Suggestions?
