Just in case anyone is interested, here is an aerial view of "the sickle", the crescent, and the road joining it to the circus.

I couldn't get multimap to centre the pic on the circus, otherwise you be able to see "the key", which starts from the circus as well, but is made from the road off the bottom of the circus and the square (off pic).

The Key; The Circus with its Druidical centre of trees, straight bit is Gay Street leading to the square which is Queens Square.
Royal Crescent is the moon, with the Circus also functioning as the Sun?.. Around the frieze of the Circus are the "secret" signs of the freemasons (for goodness sake)..
Another question, "The Celtic Head" at the roman baths, is described by Ross as a gorgons head, but it is also very solar like with its snakelike rays of hair, so did Wood know about the head, had it been discovered by then..

If you click on the Circus and then press the '+' button by the zoom scale you get the desired effect.

I saw from where DC was at Stonehenge. It was very interesting and I wouldn't mind seeing the whole thing. Well worth a warning post if anyone notices it being scheduled again methinks.
