Nice.
I can totally understand how you say you've developed a "feel" for deliberate stuff, Art not Science. You should take a walk on the Downs at Avebury!
Damn the rushes though. And trees and turf and peat etc
As you say, "Much awaits the diligent researcher ! " Everywhere perhaps?
The hill it points to?
Is that Kitten Tom? Can't find it on Google.

No, it's in Slaggyford !

It's as near to a perfect hill as exists. Probably from a similar source as Catton, which is about ten miles to the west, maybe less.

Thom has surveyed Learable Hill in Scotland, I notice, and the row there has a same cross alignment built in. There are what-seem-to-be almost intact small barrows along with the rows, in Smithills. Excavation could unearth some interesting stuff or, knowing Bolton, not. It raises the spectre of the Neolithic King of Bolton though. He'd be 'just like Fred'.
