| I know I was just getting at TomBo really, but yes, that's exactly the picture I'm thinking of. Professor Thom has that stone indicating the winter solstice sunset. I've a daughter named Meg with some qualities of that Gilderdale rock - and she grew up not all that far away from it. Now a mum herself ... I'm roughly going with the idea that the circles were broadly solar and the rows broadly lunar. My little spiral now seems to be a small double ring (oval) with some loose bits. 5 - 7 m. diameter. The little digger is parked up my track and seems ex-RN. I'm going to measure a few of the main stone row lines with a little compass - see if they can be matched to one of Thom's histograms before measuring more finely. I've found ten stone rows now ! Something to do with building stone walls for so long and thus recognising the shapes on the ground. I think there's 180 known in the UK. 'My' three curricks on a hilltop near Kirkhaugh measure two eighths of a degree on the horizon. In my disordered imagination I thought I would be able to persuade someone to move onto the site this summer and to observe the astronomical phenomena ...
