perhaps they're on a leyline then?

Sorry. Didn't mean it.

So how do you line things up if they're beyond the visible range?
Sticks? Beacons? It would be a big job.

it doesn't make a lot of sense but the figures, which are very accurate and include variable like curvature of the earth etc are are almost compelling , the knowlton alignment now looks like this .
Knowlton –Castlerigg = -10.9696
Knowlton –Cairnpapple = -10.4121
Knowlton –Strathallan = -10 .2104
Knowlton-Croft Moraig = -10.8630

"scratches head"

Well, didn't the British survey and map the whole of India to a very high level of accuracy using nothing but lined-up sticks?

Thom's statistical analysis of the alignments he inferred have a tiny peak at -10 declination. So he found a few alignments with this value. In the histogram he suggests the rising and setting points of Antares (at 1800 bce) as the stellar phenomena indicated. There has to be a simple explanation for the alignment of prehistoric ceremonial sites.
