Yeah the 'hanging' thing's annoying. Not sure we'll get far calling em summat different though.
If you've not already read em, the Burl book Jane quoted is quite interesting & gives some opinions etc but is (unsurprisingly) inconclusive. Francis Pryor talks about em quite a lot in bits of 'Seahenge' too but you've probably read that (I'd hesitate to recommend it if you haven't, I find it a bit annoying).
I guess Mike Pitts's 'Hengeworld' might talk about it a bit.... (But Ive never read it.)
We also had a bit of a discussion in a long thread called summat like 'Ritual Landscapes' a few months ago. Sure none of this helps, but it's the best I can do.
