Hi Monganaut
No, I don’t think the Sarsen stone structure was anything to do with farming and I go along with current thinking, such as Mike Pearson’s theory.
From what I saw when I was in the Yemen mountains near Taz in 1966, I suspect that was the life style the people had led for many generations. It was fully sustainable and they seemed quite happy with their lot in life. No real need for change, or invention.
Britain does have a temperate climate – no extremes of temperature as Germany and France have. But our weather is famous, or perhaps, notorious for it changeable nature, and un-predictability.
Your train of thought seem ok to me, quite good actually. : )
