Absolutely. It's hardly a matter of dispute that it's position is all about location, location, location and I can't see much reason to doubt that it's height was all about view, view, view: It's a bit of a stretch to think that they picked a random height that just enabled them to see over Waden to both Avebury and The Ridgeway. If they didn't care about that they'd have saved themselves a few hundred thousand basketfuls and built it 4 feet lower!
Yes I doubt there was anything remotely random about it considering it took 100 years to build albeit in stages. For me it is important that it at least matched the height of the WKLB because of my statement earlier!
