Sanctuary wrote: I've been following this thread from The Jersey Minx Tiompan and she has never once mentioned Waden Hill in connection with the earth figure she speaks of in the book If it is indeed a figure (symbolic) on the ground built to transport the souls of the dead into their Afterlife then it wouldn't need legs would it. the burial mound indicated toward the northern end of Waden hill on the map could be seen as a breast!! There you are, you can sleep easy tonight now! (g). . That is basically what I was getting at .If you are going to build a figure incorporating parts of the surrounding landscape then why have the largest component (Waden Hill ) in the middle of the figure eyt not include it the figure .As mentioned earlier it seems more logical to build it elsewhere , the natural components are common enough rivers and springs just find someplace where there the most prominent component will have to be ignored .But alternaively as also mentioned previously maybe it is part of the figure in which case it could only be a shopping bag ,surely not a growth . It was common neolithic practice to break figurines but one breast no legs ,a squint ,a growth, one arm longer than the other possibly bald ,no teeth (unless the Z feature takes care of that )that's some Cailliach .
