Abstract
A discussion of Neolithic enclosures as empty spaces in the past, and present. Our archaeological techniques often reveal large apparently empty spaces within enclosures of Neolithic date such as cursus monuments and palisaded enclosures, but is this because activity left no surface traces? By contrast contemporary prehistoric-style enclosures often show material traces of gatherings, deposition. This paper looks at Balfarg henge and the Sighthill stone circle as case-studies.
