He can have my spade - but his principal tool was the theodolite. And Castle Rigg is a flattened circle too - but there's no sign of an earlier enclosure constraining it.
The Fog on the Tyne starts up the Derwent Valley, as it's cooler out there, and snakes slowly down, through Blaydon, meets a grubby cloud from Prudhoe, and spreads down to the coast. If you'd not seen it happen you probably wouldn't believe it.
Try this - http://www.elainemorgan.me.uk/ - and find her new book, available as a pdf. It's interesting, obvious, and a great example of establishment ignorance. (The fog's just reaching Winlaton as I type).
Nobody's interested in finding the main alignment from my new barrow on the outskirts of Alston. It's to the NW, broadly, perhaps to Grey Nag summit. Thom gives the centre line of Long Meg as the meridian, so the putative centre of the circle is constrained in one dimension, at least.
