It is doing little to help people understand what is, and is not associated with the monument that most people understand as ‘Stonehenge’. Of course there is a protracted period of activity on the site (around 500 years) leading up to the early bluestone monument, followed shortly after by the sarsen structure, and thereafter almost a thousand years of (known) activity. The problem is that everything (you might say every man, dog and his bone) is being thrown into the ‘Stonehenge equation’, the result is confusion and an increasing proliferation of archaeologically unverifiable theories.
