As you mention me by name ...

I feel that I do not have any <i>universal</i> theories to explain the monuments I visit. I do have localised ideas though. Certain regions do seem to follow themes, but then some seem to follow none.

Then you're stuck with - are the themes I think I see coincidence or are there themes I'm just not seeing in the other regions?

Basically ... no. I don't think I really <i>know</i> anything. For instance, when 95% of portal tombs are built by streams/rivers and face east is that a genuine characteristic? If so, why are the exceptions to those rules built the way they are? Do you have to work out why these odd ones are built that way to prove the two rules? Can you get away with saying 'Blah blah blah ... except these sites'?

"Can you get away with saying 'Blah blah blah ... except these sites'?"

Suppose that depends who's 'judging' you on accuracy.

Statisticians may have a problem with considering 95% commonality amongst specific built object's orientation to be coincidental?

(Ren Hoekvoice ) The answer, damnitt, give ussss theeee ANSWER!

FoueWinds, I dont know why , about something I find.
When I started dowsing six months ago, I found two sets of lines quite easily.
1, 90 degrees to north.
2, just off north.
As I have progressed ,I have picked up more and more lines at many reguler bearings.
But the 90 degree one always is the easiest to detect ?
Disregarding the barrows and churchs, where I always find spirals, between the 90 degree lines.
I have spent a lot of time and effort out in green fields, tracing these spirals.
They are 90% of the time to be detected on the 90 degree bearing lines.
They are always to be found adjacent to where I detect water.
At all times when I am out dowsing, I try to put my mind into the mind set of what I believe would have been that of man/woman 5 or 6 thousand years ago, this takes practise, because we know too much, and constantly refer to what we know.
As someome from those times, I would have valued water, food, shelter, family, children, and will have been very in touch with nature and every detail of it and the surrounding enviroment .
At some point along , I must have wondered about where I came from and went back to, and everything I will have seen will have come from the earth and gone back to the earth.
If I could detect a spot where something appeared to enter the earth and reappear from the earth, and all nature that I knew so well, appeared to thrive on this something, and when I was near this spot I felt something good.
.
In my mind of 6000 years ago, these spots would be special, I would want to be buried where I would think, life reemerges, I would start to build, at these spots, I would record where I find the spots in the only way I know.

but, excepting the various shared rules and common features, do you have a greater feeling for the 'why(s)' after all those visits - or perhaps, less?
