A very good read Tiompan, I didn't know about Keiller's interest in witchcraft but guess he was contemporaneous with Aleister Crowley when that brand of witchcraft was popular.

Steve will be chuffed to see you have used his book in this context as he meticulously photographed,paired and numbered the Avenue stones under his section 'Sexing the Stones'. In regard to 'male/female' stones he mentions Keiller and Piggott but goes on to say Although the idea was never more than conjecture, it persists to this day and is often regarded as fact.

Btw, Steve's new book on Standing Stones is now available, only £6 (ordered my copy today).
