Taking the hilly option.
It's obvious that if you build, for instance, a stone circle in a mountainous environment then you are going to find numerous coincidental alignments with various hill tops.
It's a matter of filtering out the obvious from the subtle.
The Castlerigg site on TMA shows, in my opinion, more than coincidence, due to the shapes of the tops of the stones in relation to the shapes of the surrounding peaks. If more than a huge coincidence, this surely shows evidence of ritual, otherwise why do it?
Cheers,
TE.
