Just been to a most interesting talk and presentation by Robert Farrah on his research into the astronomical and landscape alignments of the Cumbrian sites as detailed in his book A Guide to the Stone Circles of Cumbria.

It's all well and good getting a geofizz survey done but it's the interpretation of the data that's the real problem.see http://www.hayloft.eu/stonecircles.html
It has inspired me anew to further explore our local stones and one question that keeps recurring is why has no one done a geophysics survey of the northern end of the shap avenue area? (the southern end being mostly under the railway/town)
I am wondering if it possible to contract someone to do this sort of thing privately and if so how much it would cost. I bet theres plenty of local people who would be willing to chip in and I certainly wouldnt mind doing a bit of fundraising for such a project.
Any thoughts/pointers/offers/reasons why its a stupid idea gratefully received.
Thanks Claire
I'm no expert, far from it, my only experience of geofizz is what i've witnessed on the telly, so not much, but, the interpretation seems to be a mine field to be taken with a large pinch of salt.
How many times have you seen a large "interesting" anomaly turn out to be little or nothing when actually investigated.
