Rich ,
The Morris list has always been useful as well as a source of humour .

Of Morris’s 104 listed theories he also included those that he believed impossible .
Nearly all of those that he favoured i.e. the ones he gave the biggest marks , e.g. Astronomy , Alignment markers , Metal prospection , Megalithic inch , Right Angle Triangles all get 8-10 out of 10 , I exclided .

“ The stone circle builders carved them “ (8), can’t disagree with that but not because of the reasons given , “since the unit of measurement used in carving a spiral is exactly one fortieth of the Megalithc Yard …..it is inescapable that the latter were also responsible for the cup and ring “ .

Mojo refound ?
