Apart from a few notable exceptions, i'm beginning to think, *as far as monument orientations are concerned*, there isn't much to support the idea that neolithic people were concerned with what was going on in the sky, or what time of year it was!

Fair?


I wouldn't agree that they weren't concerned about what time of year it was - these 'pagan festivals' all pre-date Christianity otherwise we wouldn't have Christmas or Johnmas (as it is known on Orkney) i.e. midsummer. No written evidence that I'm not talking imbolics of course.


Sun and moon , and sometimes stars is all we had to know where we were in the cycle , or even get about , they work really well .
