Oooh, are you going to the lecture Reg? I can't as I am away for the weekend from tomorrow lunch time.
Yeah went to the lecture....certainly has thrown up more questions for me than provided answers. It's a very difficult subject for study as the available evidence is so evanescent...essentially some aerial photos from 1966, and a further corroborated photo seen in the 70's but now mislaid possibly in the Swindon Museum Archive.
Geophysics has not seen anything, but computer enhancement can do stuff....so a bit of a leap of faith required, but I'm quite happy to do that, as I like the idea of standing on the long barrow near Liddington on the end of Shuger Waie...looking over the valley and seeing 2 monumental chalk figure there.
I've always regarded Liddington Hill as a special place, possibly the site of the Arthurian, Battle of Badon...and so possibly at least one of the figures might be connected to that event.
