Re: Alignment of Holes

It's all very thin ice. The Y and Z holes may be younger as measured by analysis of their contents, but the holes themselves are less certain I suppose, except one set of them, I forget which, is definitely younger because of what they cut into.
The thing is, the existence of a hole doesn't preclude the idea that it replaced an earlier smaller hole. All we know is that you can draw a straight line from the centre, through any sarsen and then through it's equivalent x,y and (approximately) Aubrey stone. Why? A construction-related origin seems possible or even another origin but utilized in construction.
Nice though it would be to win that particular argument would it be safer to keep clear of it, and have a "surface" anchor, if you can do it?
