Thanks for those links of the Canadian Stonehenge, Im not the best surfer, but I enjoyed looking at those pictures....I called up Majorsville Cairn on Google, and this site came up with the ancient site on the north bank of the Bow River ? This site is south of Majorville, but like the other site I found to its north its old and on sacred ground...Im thinking two places exist here worth checking, perhaps I should write to the Book Company and see if they can follow this up ? But thanks for those links,best pictures I have seen of the site so far Bat, okay I would call it more a Medicine Wheel than a Stonehenge, but its special and should be recorded and enjoyed. Its Canadian heritage of the best kind, and must be protected, and Im sure a special place for the native people as well.

Although the current site listing was not "ground proved" by myself, all the sources I've seen shown the Majorville Medicine Wheel on the west side of the Bow River, not on the east side.
Majorville was only somewhat north east of Milo, not up by Crowfoot.
The following websites indicate a location near the one posted here at the Portal for the site:
http://www.shrinesandsacredsites.com/mmw.htm

http://pa.photoshelter.com/c/imageswest/gallery/Majorville-Medicine-Wheel-Archaeological-Site-Alberta/G0000zztR_Wgo.3Y/
The following site specifies Majorville: http://www.traveljournals.net/explore/canada/map/m803143/majorville.html
I think the site listed must be fairly accurate.

The site seems to be near Majorville not Milo, so checked around there, and while the Google Earth is not very clear, I think I have found it to the north...Above Majorville is a river that winds about going west, if you follow that to a point where it looks like a large tooth in the landscape, its on the bank at about 50.47.04.13---112.47.16.47 in my opinion, and I get a date of 7035 years old when it was erected...The site is not fully pulsing like ancient sites do here, the force is reduced like Castlerigg in the UK in my opinion, it might be possible to clear/help this site gain energy and fully return to the energy grid of the planet...I feel the main Ley force to pass North/west and South/east through this complex, giving the site an anti-clockwise motion....Any blockage I believe to be in the South/east Ley,it comes in fine but leaves reduced, I shall work later to remove/help this site regain its energy.And check back to see if things improve over the next few days, least I can do, its a find and a wonderful place to visit if you can.

The picture offered of the Canadian Stonehenge does have natural energy of the planet within its design, I believe the active Leys pass through this design at N/W and at N/E, so this ancient site has the active force on the intermediate points of the compass.The power is reduced and not at full force like those at Avebury/Arbor Low/Rollrights from the planet, and this might be due to the site itself and interference from people taking/moving its rocks...50.584796 -112.410044 . This Google position posted for me does not show huge power, but I shall look again today to see if it matches the picture influence/signature to dowsing...At a position S/W of the other one IS a site powerful and active site at about 50.57.25.07 112.45.45.14 when I dowsed about yesterday there....The fact this and every other ancient site in the US both Medicine Wheels and the like were found and built by the native people is NO problem for me, they were and are close to the planet as a people.To question their ability to find and build these sites is to question how the folks in OZ, and the tribes in the Middle East, and early Britains managed it,so WHY question the natives of the USA ? Going to nose about for a date today from the picture of the site,wish I could find it on Google, as this would offer much more data to work with, its a wonderful find/place,and shows we dont share the knowledge yet of our early ancestors, who saw this place for what it is,sacred and special.

Can anyone point me where pictures of the Canada Stonehenge are to be found please, I would like to see whats on offer there, east of Milo seems to be the area involved, so I will check that area first while waiting on Google Earth.

Some recent material concerning this "Canada Stonehenge," including a video of the speaker and a slide show, has been posted on the website: here.

Google Earth resolution in the area is not great ,but the tracks are just about visible .I estimate these co-ordinates to be within a mile .
50.584796 -112.410044 .

"Stonehenge despite some astronomy is nothing like the site mentioned , "
Yes but that sort of vague and tenuous connection is a prerequisite for calling something "....'s Stonehenge"

I think the linked article was "trying" to say that the stones were deposited in the general area by glaciers (as opposed to being bedrock). The information on the web indicates Majorville is a well known and studied site. ... I think the big deal is Freeman's contention of the large number of intentional alignments to a wide variety of astronomical events. The other archaeologist quoted in the story, Jack Ives, seems to be cautioning that the Majorville site has so many stones in it that you might be able to find alignments to anything and everything.
I wasn't able to find the exact site location (an unnamed poster left a location that was definitely not the site) but the Vulcan Co. tourist map - see it here: http://www.vulcan-alberta-more4you.com/ - shows the cairn due east of Milo. So I updated the site listing accordingly. Another website with listings of sacred sites in Alberta shows the "east of Milo" location too, so I think I'm on the right track. http://www.shrinesandsacredsites.com/ab.htm also has some photos that indicate that the site is signposted.
This all sounds very interesting!

Hi Tiompan
I assume by "dec" you mean declination ie angle from the celestial equator (yet more stuff to get my head around).
Yes, the bit about the notch is contentious, but it could be that other stones align with this. There are some there we haven't checked alignments for though we're sure their not natural.
All my recent trecks up there have involved trying to find a marked path. Going up there at night is dangerous and I am sure that if the row is the real thing a way would be marked.
Many thanks for your help, it's greatly appreciated.

Sem , yes dec= declination , which is all important .THe bearing /orienation/azimuth is only part of the story the dec takes into consideration the height of the horizon which has a big impact on where the object appears . I think the best way to describe the problem is to imagine the sun rising at equinox but there is a wall in the front of the observer by the time the sun appears above the wall it will have travelled a distance south of east and the will not be at a bearing of 90 degrees . I should point out that for many archaeoastronomers minor standstills and even major standstills do not have the credibility of solar alignments .
