Certainly water, although bread was found in Otzi's tummy and not beef, some deer, but, then, he wasn't living in Cumbria.

There's intuitive evidence that the 'alignments' observed from a stone circle were watched from between, or behind, the stones. In a way that's why my find of an observatory is important, though I'm starting to accept that it'll be decades before it filters through (last picture on the Thornhope page).

No takers on my recently discovered and beautiful Cumbrian barrow, you'll notice.

If that's the case then nearly every stone circle will have all the orientations indicated . Take Castlerigg and solstice ,stand behind or next to any stone watch where the sun rises /sets and whatever stone or gap between stones is in line shows the alignment .The sun /moon have to rise /set somwhere on the horizon just because you are standing at one spot , a standing stone or some part of a stone circle and can view the rise /set doesn't mean that it is aligned It needs to be indicated to have any credence , e.g. a backsight and foresight or a row /avenue .
