Re: Ritual Landscapes

Yes, this is how I'm coming to see it, the ritual landscape was there - recognised as having suitable qualities to perform ritual (or even just there) and ancient man therefore built the first ritual structure. As time went by, other ritual structures were built, either with or without a relationship to the first and so on, until you get a significant concentration of such creations, which we are calling here a ritual landscape. It therefore follows that perhaps some of the most ritualised or sacred of landscapes may have been left untouched, and the areas where ritual structures were created may have been on the periphery.
