I have in my library a copy of “Puttenham under the Hog’s Back’ by Ruth Dugmore. Published in 1972 by Philimore Press. At long last it has risen to the top of the pile of my required reading and I was interested to find the following: “In the seventh century England was divided up into…

The following Page is copied into Posts because it seems very few visitors look beyond the Posts and therefore miss this important finding which is crucial to the credibility of the pattern.

The line terminates at Badshot Lea Long Barrow which is marked on the Ordnance Survey…
