This is from an excellent 1998 paper by Mike Parker Pearson & Ramilisonina entitled Stonehenge for the Ancestors
"There is a possibility that more such post holes may lie within Stonehenge Bottom, to the north of the monument, prehaps forming a ceremonial focus of some sort. Tranmission of oral traditions over so many millenia is extremely unlikely but the post voids were visible as pits when Stonehenge was constructed as indicated by their Late Neolithic / Early Bronze Age tertiary fill. Thus there is the possibility that these unusually ancient diggings into the land were recognized as the work of human angency belonging to a time remote from the Neolithic. In this connection, Stonehenge Bottom is unusual in being an apparently empty space lying at the centre of one of the most densely constructed ceremonial landscapes in prehistoric northern Europe. This apparent absence of features may relate not only to the 'dead zone' set apart for the ancestors but perhaps also to as yet undiscovered pre-Neolithic structures".
