The only way the obelisk is involved would have been ceremonially. Some fusion of solar/lunar essences.

Do you have smaller raptors - sparrowhawk, kestrel, owl - around Avebury? A profusion of rabbits generally means that the predators have been removed to favour gamebirds - pheasants, I would guess, down there.

A couple of kestrels seem to be permanently swinging around Silbury. Apart from the ecology I think they like the air currents.

If you sit and watch the hill in the late summer when the grass is long you can see amazing winds swirling around, and it saves on the Rizzla I'm told.
