Well it is nice to hear about Margaret
She always seemed the perfect combination of mathematician and mythologer.
So many 'circles' are an enigma - Castlerigg for example seems to include a small rectangular enclosure. She always seemed the perfect combination of mathematician and mythologer.
But are the true circles really true? Don't if Avebury is one of these - but it seems very wobbly!
Regarding Margaret Curtis, I didn't see her as a mythologer although she did speak in depth about the Sleeping Beauty range of mountains in relation to Callanish. I bought the book 'Mother of the Isles' by Jill Smith while I was there which is the rich mythology of Lewis and the Western Isles - very well worth reading though obviously 'feminine' in theme.
