A quick glance through Thom suggests more are non-circular (I'm sure someone will have the stats). For example, the central circle at the Hurlers is an oval. So is Boscawen-Un, and Tregeseal is flattened on one side.


The problem with plans ,like maps , is that is not how they may been perceived by the builders .


True enough, especially on uneven ground. But some of the shapes are very clearly not circular, even to the casual visitor. It can't have been beyond the prehistoric builders to know that a circle is easy enough to achieve with rope.
