    There already are multiple other standing stone circles in the UK

    Though finding one in Doggerland would be really cool

      Yes. Eddie izzard mentioned that Stonehenge was built after strawhenge and stickhenge got blown down by wolves.

      Also, a henge isn’t a stone circle. It’s a ring-shaped earthwork. What we think of as Stonehenge is a ring of Megalithic standing stones (not all standing stones are in a circle incidentally) in the middle of a henge.
