Re: Ritual Landscapes

I'd have to completely disagree with you. It is becoming more apparent that the reason for the location of ritual structures is for many due to the landscape features. Brobly the most significant is water, with many of the lowland henge being build where they are linked to water features such as rivers, lakes and wells. In addition I'd also say that there is good reason to think that some structures were built because of relationships to mountains etc. I have abcolutely no douby about this, the doubts that I do have is that we are able to recognise and understand this without forcing our modern desires into the equation.
