how did you " conclude " that ???????????????

the area had many sites of neolithic cultural importance - and most had more than one use

it is possible to do multople things at one site

If you don't mind: will only respond to one of your thirteen posts.
(Sorry: just teasing you, since we haven't had a lovely chat in so long.)

'Tis not my conclusion, but just a play on one possible angle of suggestiveness, from the OP.
If taken a certain way: the OP could be interpreted as though it was just a big feast, let's say: if one happened to be feeling humerous.

From the title: "stonehenge pig roasts drew people all over neolithic britain".
Could one not potentially gather that folks went there simply for the pig-roasts? No?

(PS: did you see the 'Board Business and Questions' thread this week about how this site is slower around 25 minutes past the hour, until 25 to?
It discussed the multiple post phenomena, that has unfortunately befallen you today.)

Did they use a dry rub or wet?

Perhaps they done run-out of good charcoal, and wanted to get some supplies from the prehistoric Buc-ee's, and stayed for the nice weather?

BASSPLYR had 31 DPs or something!

How's that for phone mashing?

BBQ pits shaped like Stonehenge. That is a great idea!

It's a joke. I get it.

I'm on that one. Except a vertical smoker is best for pig.

He trapped a male and female then turned them loose in a half acre pen. Fed the scraps and stuff like a hog. They tamed down after 3 days or so... But would NOT trust em! They lose all their fat so different taste.

a reply to: lakenheath24

Nope.

wonder if they had swordfights or an oxcart race or some similar entertainment.

Had to be football. They had the pigs' bladders ready available. And of course the sarsens and lintels were already set up as goalposts (tall goalkeepers at a premium).
They played in alignment with the sun, so that one team or other always had the sun in their eyes (until they swopped ends at half-time).
The crowd would stand outside the circle chanting sacred songs, encouraging their own team and mocking the supporters of the other team. If the games were played after the feast, that would be the origin of the classic chant
"Who ate all the pies?
Who ate all the pies?
You, fat b-!
You, fat b-!
You ate all the pies!"

But the glories of the Stonehenge Cup Final are long gone. They think it's all over? It is now!

Interesting that they lose fat in captivity. You would think it would be the opposite.

Do what?

ETA Said differently, "Beg pardon?"

a reply to: LightSpeedDriver

A lot of work. But it's the best way. Steamed and roasted at the same time.

a reply to: DISRAELI

Perhaps they also had the 'Monolith Toss', and the 'My Rock Is Bigger Than Your Rock' contests, followed by the: 'Oh! What A Nice Hat Made With A Bunch Of Old Vines' exhibition?

Followed by the 'Mead Chugging', and the risqué: 'Sexiest Elbow' competitions?

Who says the life of our ancestors was sheer misery?

Thanks for clarifying. I'm not a pork fan but that does look tasty. (I guessed what you said was Hawaiian but it still didn't mean much to me.) The traditional ways of cooking food regardless of country are still the best imho.
