-10 isn't off putting - it's just how declinations are written, so it's confusing. And don't discount the churches, Iron Age fort banks and wells and other stuff that could be present along the imaginary line. Have you checked with the Ley-Hunters that someone hasn't already spotted the alignments ?
No problem with the - as used in declinations but the some of the figuresI used also had a - and they were azimuths . ie. - 10 = 350 degrees .
I have "back checked some areas , the alignmenst go from wessex to Orkney so a lot of ground to cover , but I' m keeping it strictly to to Neolithic and early BA ,lots of stuff regarded as being IA can be much earlier but and churches occupy earlier sites but l didn't wanted to keep it exclusively to the period . If the ley hunters had come across them we would have known about it . I have seen very few " leys "that stick to the one millenium .

Aye, well the broader the timescale the less convincing the hypothesis since the number of targets increases and the likelihood that there will be fortuitous lines in a random scatter approaches 100%.

A line-up of four, but better still five contemporaneous monuments would start to get very intriguing.
