Looking at the distribution of different types of site, I recall that similarities do cross modern borders, with links between the Welsh coast, Brittany and northern Spain.
To me that shows the spread of ideas and practices along transport and trade routes (Irish Sea to Channel to Bay of Biscay and/or vice versa) rather than a preserved tradition dating back to the Mesolithic.
I think this is Colin Richards' (now at Exeter) thang.
