are rings considered megaliths?
I know they are places of energy, and of old rituals... but no stones there...
If not i should put my discussion about them somewhere else...

They are everywhere, to your left, right, behind you in front of you.
Stone rings ,wooden rings, plastic rings.
Been to the rollright ring today, oh dear it's not a ring at all ?
Has anyone measured this , apart from that nutter THOM ?
It is not a ring, as such, I define a ring as circuler.
Get a tape measure and measure the thing, I have.
It is not a ring.
Deux, two rings Qui, yes, two rings .
Timed it perfect today, in the special spot between two rings, all women will know this spot better than selfish men.
I stood alone, as the sun aligned with this spot and a hole in a stone, and on to a long barrow, stood with my arms at 45 degrees above my head, and said hello, nearly blew me away, but we are stubborn from York's, we do not back down.
Dragon's are my best friends, they smiled at me.
Kevin.
A little criptick, my story about stones, oolite limestones, that once pulsed alive, and still resonate to 1.618.?

Megalith means large stone so i suppose not.
However this site deals with a wide variaty of prehistoric remains so talking about earth rings would be ok.
What sort of earth rings did you mean?Henges,Causewayed enclosures something like that.

I'm not sure what "places of energy" might mean. Where there is matter...
Circular enclosures of earth and stone proliferate in NE Europe, with henges in the east of Britain while stone circles are more common in the west (Burl, 1976:2. In the transistion zone they are often combined. About 20% of the 50 largest British henges enclose a stone circle. To some extent, what distinguishes these two categores of landscape placemarks is material availability. To split their discussion introduces a materials bias.
How to comparatively evaluate them is a problem. The ten largest hengers enclosing circles are near double the size of the stone constructs. In a grouping based on this formulation (henges need be double the diameter for inclusion), of the 66 largest, there are 36 stone circles at 34 sites and 39 henges at 32 locations (researched in 2000, Burl and AF Harding as primary sources). The stone circles ranged from 31 to 331 m, the henges from 61 to 462 m in diameter.
Edited to correct a number typo. JQ

Archaeo, sorry back to my dowsing, the trouble is thats why they were built, so how the hell can anybody knock me for babbling on about it ?
If you visualise a stone been thrown into a pond, the bigger the stone, the bigger the ripples and the further they will travel outwards.
Then imagine lots of lines hitting each other at one spot, the more lines that hit each other the more of a similer effect as the stone in the pond will occur, and that is eactly what I detect with the lines, I can honestly pick up the circles pounding out from the high number cross points for many miles.
then if you work away from the natural earthing spot for the flow from the circles you can pick which circle , or group of circles to work with.
At every 13 inch around the crossing point there will be a circuler ring upto the 55th time, when it switchs to every 26 inch, this radiates out dependant on the number of lines crossing for miles, on each one of these cirles is a flow of plasma, each one goes in the opposite direction of the previous one, by positioning the stones on your chosen circle /circles, you can accumulate, or move a desired flow, they were after manipulating one stream of this plasma that is harmfull to living tissue, and they desired to send it into the earth in the barrows, in other words to bury the giant.
by doing this mankind took giant leaps forward, because he and all his crops benifited from the flow that was left, they flooded their immediate surroundings with a life enchancing flow of plasma.

Archaeo,
any ideas / theories as to why Bronze age people built stone cicrcles? Just been to visit Moel Ty Uchaf with Victor (Whatisthat) and I was struck by its similiarity to Castlerigg up near Keswick. The settings are so similiar, although Castlerigg is on the grander scale. Did they have a "formula" for construction or was it up to the whim of a chief priest as to where the circle would be sited?
