and another thing
When I look at Orions Belt I see a horizontal feature running across the waist of Orion, surely the Thornbro' henges are a vertical feature in relation to every single landscape feature in the area i.e. the 2 rivers, the road, the cursus, the Pennines, The Hambledon hills, The NYM
If you get my drift.

On the other hand, I think the level of accuracy IS pretty impressive, for either a fluke or a deliberate intent.. If the centre of the top henge was maybe 2 or 3 feet to the side it would correspond to the belt with no discernable error. That's got to be better than most coincidences or it's got to be very clever. The trouble is, which?
