Carol responds:
As I understand it, it isn't the veil itself but the archway it covers
that leads to the "beyond." The archway is ancient and built on a dais
with an amphitheater around it. It's clearly a portal to the
Underworld or Otherworld, the world of the dead, and I very much doubt
that it can be moved. I've suggested in other posts that the
amphitheater was constructed for public executions or ritual
sacrifices in ancient times, perhaps by the Druids. (I don't think the
portal was built by the earlier Neolithic people who built Stonehenge,
as someone else suggested, because the arch was not invented, at least
by Muggles, until Roman times.)
