The last one was 40 k.
I would think 40k would be in my definition of not too far.

The fact that they are of the same age/type is a tempting factor, I agree.

As you mention above, I would like to look at other factors. Things such as were the sites placed on the same sort of landscape type place? If so how many other similar locations were there near each site. If there were many then it makes the choice of site curious, if nothing else.

0.2 degrees over 40km is only 138m divergence. That's pretty good going.

There are different types of line from non intervisible sites e.g. long distances with three or more monuments of similar type and dating from EN-MB on the same azimuth . A similar line but the azimuth is related to the one of the terminal sites in that it within a degree or less of one of the four major lunar /stellar events at the same period approx -2700 bc . What that means I'm not sure , it may be total coincidence , hence the stats , but the more I find the more I think it is due to a by product of some other endeavour . Straight lines are anathema to me , they are certainly not highly featured in prehistoric aesthetics , but .
