Yes you imagine first hand in the field experience is all important and yet you somehow managed to describe something that was an impossibility .

" I've calculated the declination between the middle of this line of stones and the mound called Amos Hill, which is about four hundred yards away. Using a longhand method I get the result + 22.9.
That's very close to the summer solstice sunset "

It took someone using a computer to point out how impossible and illogical that was .
