I've got some friends who live near Avebury who have been doing loads of research on LB alignments. I can get in touch with them if you like....they are azimuth experts, I , on the other hand, haven't a clue about such things!!
I understand the degrees bit, and I understand that height affects the point at which something rises [and therefore the degrees too], but I can't do the maths in my head. I'd be interested to know if small groups of long barrows align differently, as if to give a series of places to use at different times of the year for a single small area.
