I'd hazard a guess that the semi-enclosed, symmetrical nature, with reflective
surfaces converging at the centre, would have the effect of creating a
concentric spatial effect - perceptually, the inside should sound quite
intimate, but you can still hear the outside, which should actually sound
further away. So there should be an emphasis on the divide between inside
("inner circle") and outside ("plebs") - inside is where the heightened sense
of being in a mystical place - and this is emphasised by hearing the ordinary
people outside.
When it was built, not many people would experience 'indoor listening' with
fairly reflective surfaces (caves, maybe) - I would guess the nearest they
would get to this 'near things nearer, far things further' effect might be in
certain forests, though as they didn't have pine forests, maybe not so much
(what forests did they have?)

I have recorded just simple stereo voice in the full size recreation of
Stonehenge, in technical terms the sound was dead weird and definatly a part
of the mystic/character/use of the place.
