I enjoyed your post and glad you enjoyed Stonehenge, but that's a rook not a raven.
Incidentally, the collective noun for ravens is "an unkindness of ravens", but for ravens it's a "parliament of rooks".

Ah, lost in translation. By cairn I meant burial mound, or barrow, not a pile of stones

I don't not like it, I share your passion for ancient monuments and neolithic structures. I just don't agree with your conclusion, that they all represent a torus and for the simple reason that in all my reading and visits to old stones I'm convinced that they all represent something unique and specific of themselves. I don't think they can all be swept under the torus umbrella as a simple, unified theory. I think it's much more complicated than that.
There is no doubt that the neolithic cultures in Britain were talking to each other, and further afield too. We can see this in the similarities between northern and southern sites. I just want to share with you some bits that I know, to see if it helps you clarify your ideas a bit. You just keep on, don't be put off by me.

So when was the figure carved? The Neolithic? If you want to think that Stonehenge represents a torus, please do. I shall leave you to it to enjoy your discovery.

One chalk figure says one thing, and another says something else...
