At Overchurch Hill 7 stones accurately lie on a true circle of ~1176 ft diameter.
1176ft would make it larger than Avebury and therefore the largest stone circle in the world.

If only Norris McWhirter were still with us.

Putting to one side that the vast majority of stone circles are not true circles, could you explain why you think these 7 stones are a prehistoric stone circle?

If its because -

At all three sites analysis shows many alignments to sun and moon rising and setting events far beyond chance.
Then could you tell me which 'sun and moon rising and setting events' have you found at Overchurch?

Hello. I used compass and direct measurements on the 25 inch to the mile OS maps of 1872 for Overchurch and Arrowe Park and the 6 inch to the mile OS maps at Bidston. We have true circles not ellipses or 'eggs'. If you don't accept this get the maps and check yourself. As for scale the inner circle at Arrowe Park has a diameter of ~2300 ft...and yes I am quite aware this exceeds Avebury having studied that site closely. On alignments they all seem to be there : summer solstice sunrise, winter solstice sunrise, equinoxes, etc. Major and minor standstill moonrise points of the 18.6 year nodal cycle, equinox moonrises and settings...and reciprocals to sun and moon set. If all this is too much to swallow look at the evidence: see my book 'The Overchurch Mystery'.
