Julian Cope presents Head Heritage

This goes some way to explain how the hasty and wishful thinking has led to the error .

“The Cursus is aligned in the East-West direction, and the pits were found one in each end, pointing to Dusk and Dawn .”
If the cursus ran due east to west then the thinking that the pits, if bisected , would provide a north south line makes some sense but the pits ,like the cursus , are not aligned due east to west . They and it are over 5 degrees off due east /west , not much , but over the distance of the 2,000 m between the pits this adds up to an error of 190 m .The error is compounded by the western pit not being on the alignment of the sunset as seen from the heel stone as claimed .
