So the fire beacon thing imagined for the west pit so it could be seen from the heel stone wasn't even on the intended alignment anyway? Classic stuff.



They have never released accurate details of the pits .Mike Pitts at one point asked for and got a relatively good pics which helped enormously and confirmed the alignment error but the press office then asked for them to be removed from his blog .
There was a point 6 months after the initial error when they backtracked and seemed to take a more measured approach . In

They introduced the qualifier appear : “and appear to be positioned on alignments towards midsummer sunrise and sunset when viewed from the Heel Stone,” . But now they are back with the same gung ho comments . What a shame when there is real interesting stuff to be discussed .
From the recent press release we have a least a sensible response from Heather Sebire "This is such an exciting project .The surveys will help us form an understanding of possible new sites which have not been recorded before which will need further inverstigation" When compared to previous hyperbole it speaks volumes .
