Dr Garry Denke’s core samples of Stonehenge Palisade Snow Fence postholes nearest Heelstone Ditch dated the first Neolithic snow fence (~3000 BC). The wooden Neolithic palisade (Oak) snow fence posts and rails were replaced several times, up to the Late Bronze Age / Early Iron Age.
Wood fence posts and rails rotted rather quickly, considering they were buried in Stonehenge snowmelt. Fortunately, stone type Cursus Snow Fences were made of more durable rocks. Stonehenge Palisade Snow Fence was taller because large livestock populations required Spring water.
Prof Mike Parker Pearson (Univeristy of Sheffield), Prof Julian Thomas (University of Manchester), Dr Joshua Pollard University of Bristol), Dr Colin Richards (University of Manchester), Chris Tilley (University College London), and Dr Kate Welham (Bournemouth University), claim otherwise.
Interesting enough it still snows at Stonehenge:
however; not as much as it did 5,000 years ago
Avenue and Cursus ditches: Spring stock ponds;
palisade snow fences made winter travel easier
