It's a lovely warm bed that you never haver to leave. You are awaknened blissfuly by the song of an overhead gull,waves or wind, roll over, reflect, and realise that you are purely light. Then you stick you best sounds on, best friend beside you.

It's all that fresh air, it messes with the brain. I don't know yes or no, and all English heritage want to say in their scheduled monument record is "Limited antiquarian investigation of the rectangular structure within the
circle found charcoal, black soil mixed with stone, and a 'dark, unctuous sort of earth' near the bottom of the excavation." Does anyone know if the place has been looked at since, cove or circle? Surely it has, it's such a famous place? Although The Internet seems to think not. But you can't believe what you read on the internet necessarily can you :)

You don't want to know about it (probably) but I've found another one, also inside a stone circle, perhaps forty miles to the north, and a little to the east, of Castlerigg. I call it a Long Mortuary Enclosure, as the little stones are set into a low bank. Search this site under 'Kirkhaugh' and choose the complex entry. Sanctuary? For whom?

A rather long but excellent essay about Castlerigg and axes - I think the approach is to do with 'phenemenology' of the place, and nothing to do with burials or the sanctuary, though I did like Pryor likening Castlerigg/langdale axes with Stonehenge/Preseli.... Why sanctuary though? must be victorian
“Strangely, there is a link between the two places: they are both high and remote, with spectacular views; but more than that, the rock itself is sharp, angular, strangely columnar and almost artificial in appearance. It would not take an overactive imagination to see these rocky outcrops as something removed from this world, perhaps assembled or created by a race of altogether more powerful beings than us.” (Pryor, 2004, p.151)
