Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
This paper discusses the three great Cumbrian stone circles '“ Long Meg, Castlerigg and Swinside '“ their environs and the moon. It also examines how attention to sacred places and observation of the moon have long been subjects of curiosity to people in many parts of the world. Although the three Cumbrian sites have some features and aspects in common, they have differing environs and horizons, are of different shapes and sizes, and the portals are located in different areas of each circle. Nonetheless, the investigations indicate that they do all appear to have solar and lunar alignments. Au/LD | ||
