Re: Another name?

Select a forum:

I have a nephew named George (lives in Reading).

If this mound can be considered as somewhere that ordinary people gathered to observe certain calendrical 'sights', in prehistory, then it has a view of *both* the northernmost moonset behind Silbury Hill and the southernmost moonrise over WK long barrow.

That idea of tiered access could mean that the nobles and priests watched this stuff from the Sanctuary and the Southern Circle, while the plebs congregated on top of Silbaby. At the (comparitively recent) stonehenge fess there'd be thousands there but only a couple of hundred getting to the stones for the sunrise.
