Great song! I’d love to hear these guys recorded with today’s tech.

Aw shucks. As I sit in front of my computer screen while eating my scrambled eggs and bacon I was still holding out hope for the alien explanation for Stonehenge!

If they were collecting fat dripping off of pigs that were roasting on the spit, then the pots were sitting in the coals.
Fat is flammable.
How’d that work?
Imo, it’s far more likely that, since this is from an era that is pre food nazi and when people actually worked really hard in manual labor on a day to day basis, fat was stored as a calorie source.

Boiled in cauldrons and lifted to ramparts it was also the medieval equivalent (when dumped on attackers and set alight with fire arrows) of napalm.

Imagine yourself going to the leader of your people and explaining that your plan to build the big new “calendar” is to move the giant slabs of rock using the grease from every pig on the island.
That is a lot of bacon and fat-back.
I don’t know how they got the rocks there. I am pretty sure the “let’s kill all of the pigs” plan was not used. Maybe to slip them into place—not to move them very far across a rocky landscape.

Lard is rendered from pig fat using cooking pots and fire. No, really, it's in books and everything.

I know how to render fat from pig meat. Do it all the time.
But from a pig roasting on a spit? over a fire?
Haven’t tried that one. That’s probably why I don’t have a lot of burn scars.

There’s been an ongoing cover-up for the the real answer - Merlin moved them through levitation.

It’s my understanding that Stonehenge was reconstructed in the mid 1950’s using cranes and concrete, thus hardly original other than the stones themselves.
