The WHS setting study (details in posts below) is an interesting document, but my confidence in it is shaken as an obvious error jumped out at me as I thumbed through it.
The Stonehenge Silo is described as a Grain Elevator, it is nothing of the sort. It is a rare and important structure of a type described in Historic England's https://historicengland.org.uk/images-books/publications/national-farm-building-types/ under silage clamp and tower.
Its preservation is essential as part of the history of the site and that the report writer failed to identify it correctly is very worrying.
