I have always warmed to the idea that there was a lot in common between the vast central European (Germany-Austria-Czech Rep) Neolithic proto-henges and the henges we know and love so much (and not forgetting the fact that there are no henges in Wales??). You don't find them anywhere else in Europe (so far!) so perhaps they were a creation of those people as they moved across Europe from the Balkans (Gimbutas allowing!) at the age you are suggesting or even earlier.


The Rondel -Henge link is intriguing . Chronologically the Rondels are much earlier ,5th millenium in some cases, than our earliest henges but we now know that henges like stone circle building was continued quite a bit later than was believed until even a decade ago , so extensions at both ends ? Btw Welsh henges at Llandegai , which has some similarities with Stonehenge and Dyffryn Lane in Powys also associated with a stone circle are probably the most interesting excavated examples .
