Hi, Littlestone,

>I see no reason why Stonehenge should not also have been similarly enclosed (though I hasten to add that I'm not saying it was :-) As for roofing it, I'm not an engineer but wouldn't the trilithons been able to support beams from the centre to the outer ring of lintels?<

I saw something like this on display in the Civic Centre here in Plymouth; it was a few years back (maybe 1998/9), but the chappie had some very interesting ideas, and I think he used all the holes (including the Aubrey Holes, and the inner ring of Y & Z holes) in his model. It was a big roof, rather like the reconstructed ones IA ones in Somerset and the Fen's, but much larger. Of course, now I remember it, do you think I can find reference to it on the Web? :-)


Peace
