and how high would the centre post be?...and since when was Stonehenge neolithic?

It's a wonderful idea...but why is it the only one? if it had worked would they have not copied the idea on a smaller scale at many other places (or was there a patent taken out?).

I once had a dream that Silbury Hill was the last remains of a giant species of land living limpet...recent excavations have proved me wrong.

hi , the post would have been at least 40 feet high.... only phase three of stonehenge is what we are discussing as a mechanical mill and as you know it came late in the megalithic culture. There is a part in the formal thesis near the end that answers this question. the entire culture changed after stonehenge and if i am correct not many megalithic circles were built after phase 3..... stonehenge was the only one of its kind.

i wish i had seen the giant limpet...... if you come up with a working model let me know.
thanks , clyde
