I wish I'd known about this when we visited the this region of Wales at the beginning of August.

I'm interested in the mention of the link between springs and sacred sites in this context, as one of the stones we went to see in the area (on Carn Ingli) was surrounded by springs - we took a wrong turn and had to wade through them.

Ah, y'see? They wouldn't listen to me! I said years ago that I thought there was a link between springs/wells and ancient sites... Course then people go around asking for proof, and, frankly, I ain't got none! ;)

Stuff has been written about the odd site being close to a waterway or source but I think with a lot of research, a good book could come of it (from someone with the means, the money and the time to do so!) I'd love to, but sadly, I gotta work full time.

Interesting article tho - cheers, Squid!

Also exciting: "A new series of BBC Two's Digging for Britain begins at 21:00 on Friday, 9 September."

I definitely think there is a link between certain sites and water/springs Goff and many associated with death and the Afterlife...Avebury of course being my number one!!And don't use work as an excuse to not write your book...I wrote 8 out of my 9 when in full-time employment. Then again you do have a youngster or two that comes first!! :-)
