Sorry Roy, I don't buy this. Long distance trading (eg at Tintagel and Marazion) is well established. Langdale axes have been found all over the UK. Why wouldn't they know where the Prescellis were? It's just basic geography.
Given some of the claims from the archeoastronomers, knowing what's just 'up the road' would be child's play, surely? ;-)
