Why avoid the henges of Wessex?

Whoa there, "...the cursuses fell into dis-repair..." To my knowledge we know next to nothing about cursuses let alone their function or when they fell into disrepair.

>...the linear perspective moved to a circular world view.<

Accepted (I think :-) so too the rest of your post with the exception of, "...henges were not places where domestic activities took place."

Where is your evidence for the hypothesis that <i>all</i> henges and circles throughout the British Isles (and not just those that have been excavated) were places where domestic activities did not take place?
