"revised grid ref for the crossing points of Silbury - Sanctuary and W Kennet -Falkner's Circle = SU 10527 68437 . Is that close to Silbaby ?"
Silbaby on TMA is given as SU106683, but we're at cross purposes. I'm not an advocate of the Falkners-Silbaby-WKLB line - Falkners is over the hill, not visible so they'd need to be amazing surveyors and have a very wierd attitude ;)

That line just happenened to be on the map I linked to. My real interest is the visible one, S-S-S.

Silbury 2 is where Silbury is - its much smaller previous version.

And I've been giving you reminders for the moon rise, when I should have been pointing out the northern moon set. It must be to do with drawing the moon energy down into the earth - symbollically.

Is the location of Falkner's Circle accurately known ? 164m. is quite a close fit and wouldn't need much jiggling to form a better fit. If it's over the hill, and out of sight, it could be an error - after all their dry-stone walling was pretty slap dash.

We have been talking at cross purposes , but it looks like Silbaby is at least 100 m south of a line between the centes of the Sanctuary and Silbury , and has Fitz pointed out 160 m from the crossing point of the original lines from the blog . A more accurate grid ref for Silbaby could change things a bit but not enough to see it smack dab on the line .
