There was a line of posts leading from the south western palisade enclosure at West Kennet ,dead straight it crossed Gunsight lane and was over 200m long .The point it pointed to on the horizon at Lurkely Hill was the point that where the winter solstice sun would be seen to rise .
That complicates matters surely, ignoring the far greater ritual assemblage of Avebury? From what I remember the dates start from 2300 bc and Whittle says the enclosures were shortlived, probably used for ritual feasts of pork....its not April the first Tiompan is it ;)
