It looks as if I've written the article above, but it's just a credit for the photo at top of page!
[My friend] Alex Down has responded to seeing this photo with my comment, via a link to Meg P, earlier on Eternal Idol:
"Angie, my guess is that you were standing relatively close to the end of the Cursus barrows, judging by the angle subtended by the end fence. Probably less than 50m away, while the New Henge is almost certainly 150-160m away, though on the same sort of line. Not sure whether that counts as “pretty close”. ;-)"
Alex did a great report on Dennis Price's Eternal Idol website, and comments are always being added.
There are actually two threads currently running on the front page of EI, regarding the new henge: http://www.eternalidol.com/
Between those two is an article that Alex wrote on Marden Henge headed up with a photo I took of him on 4th May, when we explored the west end of the Cursus. We went on to look at Fargo Henge's site in the woods later, and I picked up a bull-horned phallic flint from the hillside near the new henge!
