Hi, thanks for that.

You mentioned 4 points. Which did you mean? I was only thinking about three - the S-S-S alignment (though as a separate issue, the view of WKLB from Silbaby seems particularly impressive IMO).

I'm not "convinced" about it being intentional either. I was just posing a humble question.... does "very accurate" signify a heightened likelihood? ;)

In musing about this elsewhere I've come up with a further possible dimension - literally. See this - Silbury from the Sanctuary, with Silbaby hidden by the trees - http://www.themodernantiquarian.com/post/19965

Silbaby is lower than Silbury obviously - but what about Silbury 2? Would the Sanctuary and the top of Silbury and the top of Silbury 2 all be in a line? Not a two dimentional exact alignment but a three dimensional one....

Aren't the chances it is "chance" reducing dramatically?
