Wined And Dined
Apr 20, 2004, 19:22
I have sat, meditated, wined and dined on the holes, they are one of my fave places in the Salisbury Plain, a minimalistic Totemic Beauty on the Plain that is far superior to Stonehenge ca 2,000 BCE. By that I meant Stonehenge III or IV, the trilithon extravagance / Power trip that makes it famous, though I wasn't sure of the numbers, so I referred to Bronze Age Stonehenge as Stonehenge-ca-2,000-BCE, i.e. the Anomaly.

Then again, I have raved about them on this site as the First Monumental thang in Prehistory. Doesn't that lift the Mesolithics as the first monumentalists? Standing stones? Why not Standing Logs? Most of East Anglia may well attribute its lack of stones to an abundance of woodhenges everywhere, like in Stanton Drew.
