I sometimes think we overestimate what our ancestors did. I don't suppose many of them even knew where Prescelli was let alone think it a good idea to punish themselves any more than they had to with such a gigantic enterprise. I'm all for the stones being reasonably close by.


Sorry Roy, I don't buy this. Long distance trading (eg at Tintagel and Marazion) is well established. Langdale axes have been found all over the UK. Why wouldn't they know where the Prescellis were? It's just basic geography.

Given some of the claims from the archeoastronomers, knowing what's just 'up the road' would be child's play, surely? ;-)
