The Cotswold scarp is not an angle of repose . The angle must also be regular and match the angle of set at the time of year , good luck finding one in the Cotswolds .You have no option with the Silbury angle of repose but nobody suggested it was "meant" . However there are plenty of other examples of non man made hills where the the angle of the slope matches that of the setting sun sometimes even at a auspicious time like solstices and even more auspiciously seen from cup marked rocks e.g.http://www.themodernantiquarian.com/site/1274/east_tempar.html pic 3 of http://www.themodernantiquarian.com/site/9398/tomour.html shows the view of another . http://www.themodernantiquaria[...]ite/4849/brodick_carvings.html is interesting in that the radials might have provided the indication of where to look but they didn't , as always they went down slope . None are intentional and there will be plenty more ,they just have not been noticed . Reply | with quote |  2nd September 2012ce 12:22 In reply to: Re: Room for a view (nigelswift) |
