"It's been suggested, after all, that Durrington Walls and the Sanctuary may have been roofed."
Yes - Alex Gibson in "Stonehenge and Timber Circles" gives reconstruction drawings of roofed Durrington, Woodhenge and others.
I wasn't particularly impressed with the televised reconstructon of the post holes at Durrington. Why do they assume that the posts were so high? Think of Seahenge with the inverted tree trunk and posts going into the earth - down to the underworld. Now that is ritual.
