It's Friday, let's set Nigel off for the weekend! ;)
D'you reckon they were fox hunters?!


Mr Sanctuary, that's a good picture. It makes it clear you could only ever see the sun through the hole from an oblique angle, which means the shape - or even the existence - of 90% of the hole is totally irrelevant to any astronomical function doesn't it?


I would have thought so Nigel but I'm not really clued in to that stuff. 'Most' people are of the oinion that the whole shebang was covered over on completion which would make a nonsense of all of it anyway! I don't purposely wish to down other peoples research because I know how much time we all put into these things, but I just can't see any of this myself. It is an extremely old build showing serious signs of movement which is par for the course and can no way reflect on what it was like at birth!
