I like this entry, it's very interesting (I like watching Time Team when I get the chance, so this entry appealed to me).
I will say that it confuses me slightly in the fact that it isn't a bit more sectioned maybe one for the Henges then one for the meaning, significance etc. and one for the barrows. It may make reading slightly easier for the uninitiated.
The only other things were some errors (which I'm sure you've noticed or would be picked up by the Sub Editors).
2nd paragraph - extra space just after the opening bracket & 1970s not i970s
6th paragraph - should it read BC not BCE & 1.5 km no kn
10th paragraph - again BC not BCE
20th paragpraph - covering not ciovering
Maybe what you've put is right and I'm wrong. Sometimes you can't see simple mistakes until you re-read them or print them out an re-read what you've written (I know I need to most of the time).
Maybe put in a timeline diagram (if it's possible) to show connections between the three Henges in a simple form (that would be for people like me who can't always visualise timelines). You know starts at Phase one of whichever came first, shows the years until phase one of the next henge begins, then Phase two of the first one etc.) Probably not putting this very well (never any good at explaining things properly - hope I get better with time!)
Only other thing - I've found that they like numbers under ten to be written (unless it's measurements, time or dates). I've been picked up on that one a few times (eg - three miles not 3 miles)
Hope this helps.

gem. I've made those changes; all except the time line which I don't really know how to do. Anyway, the important idea I wished to convey is that the three structures were in use contemporaneously.
Also converted all BC's to BCE's for consistency.
