A roof of straw would provide shelter and turn the stones into a community hall. The roof could be taken off easily for astrological events.

Not me. Stonehenge was a way for the druids to map celestial events. Sorry but having a roof would have have allowed them to do that.
PS There is evidence that the Colosseum in Rome had a roof. It was a cloth roof but it was a roof never the less.

I don't, I'm sure that a roof would ruin the intent of being a star marker, it would block the stars.

I doubt it did - seems like there would be some evidence if there had been a roof - and many structures of that size were roof-less - like in Rome.

I doubt if we will ever know......... any ideas are just that - purely conjecture.
But at least the bits in books about the stones are actually true - they exist. Unlike the fables written in the bible book, which are pure fabrication by many individuals.

What?
And who would have lifted it into place?????
Even the pyramids used wheels, and there ain't no sand around Stonehenge!!
