You can start with pondering travels of heroes in European mythologies. For Peloponnese, Greece, you have Herakles` travels and the track of Pelops between Asia Minor and Olympia. But in Ireland there are travels and marriages of Fionn McCumhaill, which are the finest example. Example for what? - Well; whatever comes to your mind with regard to dowsing. Just press button "compare" but I think the result will be - "function disabled"?

The Havelock -Fidler sites and those mentioned McIlmichall's account are , with one possible exception none are prehistoric monuments . For a variety of reasons people have forever associated features in the landscape with myth .In the early historic period it might be fairies , monsters or heroes in the mid 20th C it became ufo's or “energies “ Havelock -Fidler was reacting much the same as McIlmichall . It is an insight into their imagination , sadly we don't what went on in the imaginations of those in prehistory in relation to natural features in the landscape but it would have reflected their myths .When you press compare today the potential is immense it depends on the culture but all you get is an insight into that culture not that of prehistory .
