Durrington Walls

According to how the labour was delegated between the sexes it is most likely, I would think, for stones to be moved between Mayday, when the ground had been ploughed (arded) and sown, and Lammas, before the crops were harvested.


Absolutely no idea..

My point is that winter is a bad idea.. It's wet and soft... That's if you are going over land..

My understanding is that Agriculture is very small time and soon turns to pasteurisation. So folk would be far to busy raising sheep, pigs and cattle. Then there is flint knapping, charcoal production, pottery, home building, hunting, bow and arrow production, Child rearing.. Blimey, it just goes on and on... Not a lot of time to drift off to wales..
