This was a good thread (at least mostly), thought I'd try resurrecting it, having finally found it!
Anyone know if anyone's ever done any serious study of the location of these 'ere Neolithic pits in the landscape? Being engaged in stripping a big linear corridor at present, it's getting reasonably predictable where one should be expecting the things (although not always foolproof), on higher ground bordering and overlooking wet areas (ponds, marshes, streams, rivers etc, and in one case they have a cracking sea-view). This certainly seems to work for North Yorkshire and one site in Co Durham. Does the same happen elsewhere?
