Herders, not farmers, built Stonehenge
The argument here is that the people who built Stonehenge were mobile pastoralists (animal herders) who needed a common area to gather around to socialize with other clans, exchange spouses, and cross-breed animals. What I thought really neat was the idea that you don't need a big city of permanent houses in order to have monumental architecture such as this.
Anyway, this might serve as inspiration for world-builders who like pastoral groups.
