And wouldn't it be interesting to have it established in the Archaeological mind that lines aren't necessarily lines pointing anywhere at all but markers of a viewshed limit and nothing whatsoever to do with direction. Someone needs to go and look at every stone row to see if there are any more like that!
The vast majority of stone rows to the chagrin of the astro seekers do not point at anything salient in the Thom paradigm and also keep changing direction . They are however , like Bancbryn , often associated with other monuments .Maybe ley lines aren't lines either! Could the "viewshed limit theory" explain why they're so inconveniently not very straight?
I wouldn't hold out any hope for ley lines ,again , they are lines on a map , even in the Watkins sense (pre subtle energies etc ) as route ways they were only any good on the map , useless in practice , unless you ignore the bogs , rivers , lochs and contours .
