>The nave of old St Paul's cathedral was used as a market place with records of people weeing in dark corners and cows running amok.<

That's a fascinating bit of info Tuesday! and a timely warning against imbuing ancient sites with our modern perceptions of 'sanctity'. Over and over again we fall into the trap of imposing on ancient places the current theory of the day. It's never ever going to be possible to put ourselves completely into the hearts and minds of the people who lived in these islands some four thousand years ago but perhaps we can start by considering what would probably be important to them and then to build on from that.

Ley lines? Nah. Centres of ritual and commerce? Certainly. Places to meet up and enjoy? Definitely. These are basic human activities for whatever age. And when we put aside the magic and start to concentrate on the meaning it all begins to make a bit more sense.
