Re: More accurate data (Re: Stonehenge Hidden Landscape Project - Cursus/HeelStone solstitial alignments)

"Hmm - the azimuth of the (assumed) west pit from the Heelstone is over 311°, which is a degree north of where summer sunset is today.

That means the alignment must date from a time when the Earth's axial tilt was near its maximum of 24° 21' (but we've got to assume my overlay of the preliminary geophys results is exactly right, which it may not be - wish there were OS grid refs of the pits available right now)."

But then the East pit has the wrong date?
