Yes but... Are you not still thinking of the big henges of Wessex? Sure - they are massive and would have involved many people working over a longish time period. Yes they do reveal evidence of dwellings within and Marden, Durrington and Avebury are surely now seen as mulit-functional (doesn't Burl discount them as henges because of their size?). I accept all of that, but the point I'm making is just to question if ALL ring-ditch structures that we currently call "henges" were built to the same purpose.

I draw no conclusions whatsoever. I simply post a question.
Can anyone briefly summarise the evidence that proves that ALL henges (of whatever size) were constructed for ritual purpose alone?
