So I've had this image as my desktop background for the last month

Obviously the Iron Age ramparts make it hard to tell, but given the proclivity of Dorset neolithic folk to make phalluses (Maumbury Rings holes, that giant one on Down Farm etc). is it so far out there to think the causewayed enclosure was placed at the end of that hill to make the whole hill look like a giant cock?

Freud would find your case very interesting.

I assume the cock is aimed at the aliens though, as I doubt it would be obvious to anyone else.

Does this mean that the Dorset Cursus was made by somebody with a inferiority complex?

Fascinating and very convincing stuff, Juamei. Doubtless an experienced dowser would have success at the south-eastern extremity. Wish I had the tech, but have you checked a zoomed out Lidar or Goole Earth image for any alignments?

Just found a lovely night shot of Rudston Monolith here: http://www.stone-circles.org.uk/stone/rudston.htm
