The Avenue is definitely angled for no reason, unless there was something it went round at, at some stage in its prehistoric history.. the obelisque seems a central feature to the circles did that have any bearing (no pun intended) on the Avenue.... yes , cursus , avenues do have very obvious kinks , FornhamAll Saints has four , Avebury about five . In some cases they have been shown to be have been built in segments and sometimes over a long time period but dunno whether that explains sudden shifts . The thing about the possible kennet avenue alignments are that they are viewed coming away from the monument , any previous references are always towards the henge , or in the case of North across it . The other straight sections don't appear to be aligned to anything lunar or solar of significance , I was not going to get into star alignments as that is a mine field and without accurate dates ,and there are none , anything can be suggested , but it remains a possibility . Priddy and Thornborough get tarred with the Orion brush which is a bit simplistic , three points with one slightly askew is such a common pheneomenon .
