I was at Moulton just last week. Impressive one.

Something like that I think. And rivers / topo.

Don’t forget Kirk Hammerton - if you believe in that one!

There are many more beyond even them. There’s actually a potential one to the immediate west of the Thornborough three.

I’m not saying they were cosmically aligned. But it’s a hell of a coincidence.

Well, they do, actually.

Go on Google Maps, use the measuring tool. Draw a line though the northern henges entrance, through the southern henge - then all the way to the Devil’s Arrows (arbitrary I know).

This passes directly through Nunwick Henge’s causeways.

Not to mention, by the way, that the line on the map I drew even shows what you're describing?

If you think it's a coincidence that Cana Barn, Hutton Moor, the Thornborough Henges, and Nunwick are all placed on that alignment by chance... well, I don't know. But I'd say it's pretty obvious.

That map is 100% accurate. The line passes through all those henges, in that exact alignment, all the way to the Devil's Arrows. It's not exact, obviously.

They're aligned to the lay of the land, but people were clearly doing these things southeast / northwest down the Vale.

Boroughbridge up to Nosterfield for the main part of it yes. It’s where the River Ure meets the Swale.

I know that map can look cooky. But in this case, you can literally draw a line through their causeways, directly through one another to the Devil's Arrows.

A blatant long-distance alignment of ceremonial enclosures.

There's also a potential suerhenge just north of the Devil's Arrows. 🏺

I'm aware that there was disagreement about the article by Steve Dickinson on a potential new Cumbrian Stone Circle (@adamibbotson.bsky.social). I wonder whether this is the reason that the Autumn Issue of PAST 111 has been deleted online. I am sad because we had an article on malt in this issue. 🤔

Oops - just saw you were one of those authors! If they did take it down because of the Dickinson article, I really hope they republish your work again elsewhere.

It’s a real baby and bathwater situation, as I and many others found the other articles very interesting.

If so, good. Far too big a claim to be throwing around willy nilly.

But the rest of the work in there was great. Hope that’s not been lost.

Some people just like the acclaim. And the news will take literally anything you give them.

Archaeology is an easy pull.

Nobody in the know believes it. The LDNP archaeo visited the site with him and told him it’s very unlikely.

Yet, he’s on the news stating that it’s 100% real.

I was the one who found the LiDAR feature. So, if anything, it’s my discovery haha

I won’t be having misinformation spread on my turf…

(Jokes aside, I’ll be responding to it in a more formal capacity.)

Pure speculation to be honest! But, carvings like this are found in Neolithic contexts - stone circles, tombs eyc.

I should really have said Neolithic/Bronze Age.

Hi Ade - I’d rather take that kind of thing off my social media accounts. Best way to fight disinformation is with good information!

For those too lazy to zoom:
