FW, Steve said: “I suspect that the original Stonehenge uprights were erected from outside the circle and that the 45 degree slope was to allow the stone to arc into the hole, thus reducing the height requirement of the tower.”
Although the 45 degrees may not be right, I do think it would be a great help to know if Steve’s correct about this because if he is it would be a strong indication of the exact height from which the original stones were tipped. It would be a great question to put to Mr Burl, as he might have an opinion on whether they were erected from inside or outside based on what he knows of the chronology and consequent constraints upon space.
