Stonelifter, is the grid ref for the circle yours or the one the CA determined?
Tiompan's estimated altitude looks about right based on that ref.

The reason I ask is, I'm wondering about gps devices. For some reason, I suspect you'd have little faith in them ;)

Geophysics (although it wasn't named that) was a specialist subject of mine at the Poly. Other two were Remote Sensing and Energy. Bus time is coming round pretty sharpish and I'm waiting to hear from an ebay seller - a massively heavy film editor - don't want to leave it to next week.

All the grid references on the SMR are mine. But you'll never practically get up the hill to it this time. Leave it till later. August eg I've asked for a grant from the local AONB development board to securely locate my SMR entries in two halves. This year cairnsmounds and curricks, next year everything else. I hoped to generate eight figure map references but the County Archaeologist has asked that I use a GPS and provide better description.

I'd forgotten about that circle even though I am very close to it. it's an irrelevance really, compared to other stuff that's thereabouts. But if you go near the Kirkhaugh stone circle - it's listed as Holymire - then please I want to hear your comments. If you're not on the railway line you can't see it - it's too big. The farmer that owns it has a Roman altar in his garden. It may even be Neptune (I've not seen that yet).

There's two 1024 x 768 desktop wallpapers on my website that are from the next hill to Longpot Head (Stouthard) - they're on the LINE!! page, somewhere.
