I see what you mean. Thanks!

Interesting thought. It does seem more likely that, if there were such a large circle, the construction of the car park might intersect only part of it (meaning that the coincidence of the siting of the car park becomes less of a coincidence).

In a way, it's a pity that only three post holes were discovered: if a fourth had been revealed, such a feature would have been more evident. Has anyone tried to find evidence for such a circle?

I wonder whether such a circle would have any relationship to the site of Stonehenge itself? (i.e. were the builders of Stonehenge I aware of the existence of the previous feature, given that c.5500 years separated them?)
