Oi, less of the 'wild speculations' moss :-)

But going back to a point a bit further up the thread - I can't help thinking that an enclosed and roofed Stonehenge might not be such a wild idea after all (sorry Nigel, I know you're not going to accept that) but what exactly <i>are</i> the arguments against it? It's been suggested, after all, that Durrington Walls and the Sanctuary may have been roofed. Assuming that Stonehenge was principally a place of ritual, ceremony and astronomical observation, surely the rituals and ceremonies would have taken place in more comfort (or secrecy if needed) and far more accurate observations undertaken within an enclosed area (with suitable apertures obviously :-) than through friggin' great gaps between the stones with the wind and rain howling in across Salisbury plain :-)
