Nicely put :)

>There are no sacred landfills but its not beyond the bounds of the human psyche.
Funny you should mention that, I was just looking at pictures of Thorrnborough Henges andtheir attendant landfill site. In a related vein, I'm quite keen to have my local pitheap declared sacred. It used to be a great minging pile of burning slag set amidst lovely greenery. Now it's a lovely bit of greenery aset midst a sea of vile conurb. Quite the turnaround.

I think if I'm honest, I'd prefer my sacred sites to be natural features rather than human induced structures. I dunno what it says about the way my consciousness interacts with it's external enviornment, but I'd choose a strangely weathered rock outcrop over a bunch of boulders arranged in a ring, anyday of the week ;)

Yup. For me the most sacred part of the Avebury landscape is the mothers jam (Fyfield downs) amongst the natural sarsen drift that the Avebury/Stonehenge originaly came from.
The polishing stone and the cup marked stone being a favorite spot.

My own weird definition of a sacred thing has more to do with the views from many sites than the sites themselves. I too love a good outcrop!
