Is that not what causewayed enclosures are supposed to have been used for?

In which case by the time they'd developed into henges (if that's what hapened), maybe the ritual aspect of the proceedings had taken prominence, a bit like the headlining act at a festival. It's not the only reason to go, but it gives the festival a focus. Perhaps eventually, the ritual/ceremony/gig events at causewayed/proto-henge sites developed greater significance, and purpose built spaces were created.

Mind, I still have a pet unsubstantiated theory the Australian bora circles are somehow related to henges, so I'm not claiming to have any particularly sensible opinions on the matter.
