Is that all 3 and are they Orionesque? Or am I imagining things?

Hi Jamie,

the car park post holes predate Stonehenge by a few thousand years and are thought to be mesolithic. Possibly the first marking of this spot as something special.

Would be wonderful if it was based on Orion, being that old.

i was reading a book the other night. in it, the protagonist pointed out that you could join the dots to make lots of things, not just a hunter with his belt. to demonstrate this, he drew a tyranosaurus.

I don't have a picture to link unfortunately, but it brought a smile to my face.
