It's just great up there, Moss. It feels a lot like Knap Hill in a way - you're up above everything and it's all spread out below you. My boss is often over there doing paragliding but I haven't broached the subject of Neolithic religion as he'll probably think I'm bonkers.
The alleged recumbent figure is here
http://www.themodernantiquarian.com/post/17362 as you probably saw
- it's not that convincing but there's a definite head end (though as I said somewhere, it's hardly the Sleeping Beauty).I think it's about time I had a trip over there, I haven't been back since those field notes. You should definitely go if you can though, it's not far really.

Hi Rhiannon, sort of started on a project, whilst working out all the hillforts round Glos,Wilts and Somerset (about 50 in each) thought I would do our 8 local ones, the 4 beautifully spaced round Bath with their bronze age settlements close by, and the three in Glos that follow the line of the South Cotswold scarp, and the A46.. Its their landscape that is intriguing, the need for defense and the ability to keep watch over a great distance. Whitesheet Hill is similar to the Glos ones, in that there are other forts nearby (Scratchbury,Battlebury and Bratton)...

She's a very thin goddess by the way! Somerset does not lend itself very well to the recumbent figure too many small hills and long downs...

Lads,
What do you think of this as a recumbent figure?
