Thanks. The henge is a large circle 3 metres high so you can walk around the top . One of the things that stuck many people was how good the effect/acoustics were if you were standing on the ridge rather than in the middle (essentially standing outside the array) - it was a whole soundscape shifting and moving below you. This didn't use ambisonics (amplitude panning) but I might play around with ambisonics on the next one. This would fit with Barry Hartwells theory that people would have been stood up all around the edges to listen to whatever was going on in the middle.
