"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 :-)"

This pre-supposes that they were incapable of recognisiing artistic vandalism, which I refuse to accept. The Parthenon would be much more comfy if the gaps were bricked up, but who would do that?

As for a roof on Stonehenge, from an engineering point of view, with that span, I can't image how it could be done.
