Thanks Nigel, I did recognise the opening lines of that poem though had forgotten it was written by Alexander Thom (the master of alignments). A pleasure to read again, still evocative of something hidden from plain view - our lost landscape, there but so often not seen.

Hi tjj, it was written by John Ormond but a few of the lines are thought to be Thoms.

Thanks EG, that is a bit confusing. Had not heard of John Ormond before (I still think your version is the one that stands up best)
