I see what you're saying, but in prehistoric terms we don't know how 'the land' was perceived. We can make educated guesses, but without proof of some sort we're scuppered.

The sites themselves are different, because they represent evidence of human ritual, and most likely an idea of sanctity (or something darned similar). In areas where sites are densely grouped, the relationship with the landscape begins to emerge (e.g. Pumlumon).

I'm loving this discusion, but I need to head off and get some sleep (early start in the morning).
