Just been to a most interesting talk and presentation by Robert Farrah on his research into the astronomical and landscape alignments of the Cumbrian sites as detailed in his book A Guide to the Stone Circles of Cumbria.

It has inspired me anew to further explore our local stones and one question that keeps recurring is why has no one done a geophysics survey of the northern end of the shap avenue area? (the southern end being mostly under the railway/town)
I am wondering if it possible to contract someone to do this sort of thing privately and if so how much it would cost. I bet theres plenty of local people who would be willing to chip in and I certainly wouldnt mind doing a bit of fundraising for such a project.

Any thoughts/pointers/offers/reasons why its a stupid idea gratefully received.

Thanks Claire

I realise this thread is 4 years old but if you are still interested I did some geophysics at Shap in 2010. I did a resistivity survey at the north end of the avenue and around Skellow Hill and a small survey around the demolished stone circle next to the railway.
