I have a suspicion that there is a genuine placebo effect at work at many circles whether old or modern, arising from a pleasing proportionality.

If you erected a stone circle in a shopping centre it may well be appreciated as a pleasing haven in which people would like to eat their sandwiches or read a book.
But it has to be the right size and spacing. Yes? No?


I'd go along with that and even suggest that's why many were erected where they are in the first place because of it, not because it came afterwards.


There's nothing the builders wanted more than to get away from all those shops! Clearly why Avebury and Stonehenge weren't put up in Marlborough or Salisbury.


Quite right too...they didn't have a Tesco there at the time :-)

Pun permission granted.....



Ahhh but Tesco inscribed Stonehenge and Avebury in 1986 didn't it?
