There is the "thinking neolithic " to contend with as well . I think that means apply a bit of cosmology that we know is applicable to nearly the same period .i.e. Egyptian .


COSMOLOGY
1. The study of the physical universe considered as a totality of phenomena in time and space.
2.
a. The astrophysical study of the history, structure, and constituent dynamics of the universe.
b. A specific theory or model of this structure and these dynamics.

It's all yours tiompan, I have a problem just deciding what club to use on the golf course!!! LOLOLOLOL[/quote]

I mentioned it due to the author's other part of the story i.e. "leading the souls to the afterlife ".Which is the reason given for the landscape figure .
I , and anybody who else for that matter , could suggest some possible approaches to what may have been the cosmology found in Britain in the Neolithic but it would be a guess , not really helpful , arrogant and more than likely wrong although it would be dificult to prove wrong as we can't ,like the author , possibly know .Apart from obvious animistic type stuff which pervades most pre modern cosmologies , unless there is a written record anything more than generalities are guesses .
