so, have you been to other similar-looking places and observed the same sorts of things? Because surely it could help your argument either way. If nowhere else shows these alignments and so on, then Trethevy seems special. And if other places do show the same sorts of things - surely that's even better. If there's that many clues pointing towards supporting your theory at Trethevy, wouldn't you in fact expect similar clues at other sites??



Not yet Rhiannon, are you volunteering? I think we have enough on our plate with this magnficent specimen at the moment - it would appear that this one is rather more special than any others we've seen. Newgrange is thought to be the oldest astronomically aligned building in Europe, but Trethevy is probably older, perhaps by as much as 1000 to 1500 years!
