(I'll confess up front I don't believe in leylines in terms of "energies" and don't intend to get involved in discussing them but I'd be interested to know if there are any genuinely accurate alignments of 3 or more prehistoric sites that don't have direct line-of-sight explanations, as there are possible explanations for those that someone like me might accept).
Neither do I Nigel , but but there is no doubt that some sites are aligned , whilst unsighted and over long distances on the 4 important lunar and solar events . I have amassed quite a collection whether it is due to chance is unlikely but I would need the help of someone skilled in Bayseian statitics to help . The cause is I think epiphenomenal , that is they are secondary to the siting of the monuments and possibly unknown to the builders . Anyway what you asked for were alignments not astro stuff . It all depends on how accurate you want them ,we can calculate distances , azimuths etc whilst taking into consideration problems like the curvature of the earth , air pressure etc. at far greater accuracy than ever . Here's some relating to Tables des Marchands .
1) Maes How - Table des Narchands =179.188 degrees
Castlerigg -Table des Marchands =179.179 degrees
2) Newgrange - Stripple Stones =159. 39 degrees
Stripple Stones - Table des Marchands = 159. 147 degrees
That sort of stuff like energy lines could well be bollocks but the astro alignments are intriguing .Quite odd how archaeos poo poo "ley lines " very readily but quite happily talk of alignments .
