"One of the things that makes the presence of the Mesolithic Stonehenge post-holes so remarkable is that there are so few seemingly "non-domestic", "non-utilitarian" Mesolithic sites in the British Isles, and guess what, one pops up at Stonehenge!"
And another at Thornborough!
We'll probably never know if there was a continuance of a "belief" about those places being significant that extended over millennia, but it could have been sustained by some physical characteristic that's no longer visible. Something to do with the forest cover perhaps. Or a long disappeared cross roads.
