A couple of things arose:
Was it just me or is it a bit difficult to work out what's
going on at Windmill hill?

>It's just you :)

Has the Beckhampton barrow been excavated? Its
_huge_

>Yes. details are in 'Stonehenge' by John North & WAM.
Not much was found beside 2 Ox skulls.

> Is WK LB aligned to the santury or is that just my
eyesight? :)

It is nearly sighted on the sanctuary but not exactly.

:p
I walked in from the east entrance between 2 mounds and then sheltered next to a huge barrow. Despite standing on top of the barrow for 10 minutes and trying to compare my eyesight to the map, I wasn't able to make out any form of circular ditch / bank.

Maybe next time I won't get so stned when I get there and I might stand a chance :)
