"Y'know - what have, say, Stonehenge & Appletreewick really got in common? Just a thought."

That's a pretty tuff question that Moth... Stonehenge being a massive complex of international significance and Appletreewick being a tiny circle of low boulders. On the face of it, they seem to have little in common other than being circles of stones and miles apart in appearance... but I guess the real similarities are to be drawn from the purpose of their construction and uses (solar or celestial movement markers? Gathering places? Boundary Markers... etc). But saying that, there's no guarantee at all that the two circles were even constructed by the same culture or served the same purposes.... it seems I've just taken a long way around saying I don't know!!

I do know tho' I'd rather spend an afternoon at Appletreewick than at Stonehenge :)
