Hi bawn79,

There was a book published a few years ago called "Stonehenge, Neolithic Man and the Cosmos" by John North. This dealt with many prehistoric sites and astronomical alignments, taking into account positions of planets and stars as they were then. Some I found plausible, but other alignments just seemed to be clutching at straws.

As a reviewer, all I can say is that most of the book is good, plausible and enjoyable, but the last part deteriorates when the author overdoes the alignment bit. It's as if every site has to have an alignment. Worth a read though.

All the best,
TE.
