I don't want to think on how long ago it was when I last visited Nempnett Thrubwell but I certainly can't remember the orientation , despite the damage is there any indication of where the "entarnce " was ?. I don't have a record to hand . If south it would have been facing the sun but if north , and there are others ,it would be one of the anomalous " what 's going on here then "examples .
