I have now found it in Darvill, T., 2005. Stonehenge World Heritage Site: an archaeological research framework. Available on line http://eprints.bournemouth.ac.uk/9689/ (it is on page 101) So it is an old plan he has used. The square in the circle idea is that there are four central posts and a circular wall so it does rather need the four trilithons to be in a square(ish). But he obviously hasn't created the plan for this paper to manufacture support for the idea.Tim Dawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10667360714222841797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5787185370858787658.post-52333332194522903552016-06-01T12:08:43.598+01:002016-06-01T12:08:43.598+01:00Tim Darvill’s plan comes from the all features pla...Tim Darvill’s plan comes from the all features plan in your blog 4th Feb 2013 which was from Stonehenge Remodelled Antiquity 86 2012, the earliest I can trace the inaccurate features on these plans is back to Tim Darvill Stonehenge The Biography of a Landscape 2006.<br />In 2013 I commented on the inaccuracies in alignments of the posthole settings relating to the other features but as you and Terence are pointing out there are further problems. Stone 57 position is changed squaring off the trilithons and in the all features plan some of the Sarsen circle seems strangely represented, it is not a reliable plan at all and unfortunately has been reproduced in other publications. <br />I don’t believe the plan has been deliberately changed to fit the Square in Circle House theory, but it is difficult to understand how these errors get reprinted without anyone noticing them.<br />Ironically the curved nature of the Trilithon Horseshoe fits the house theory well, although the houses are basically square the structure of corners of the Durrinton houses are curved.<br />Peter Dunnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05417233316425767843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5787185370858787658.post-66864196200111153792016-05-31T08:55:23.275+01:002016-05-31T08:55:23.275+01:00How wonderful to share the excitement that fresh (...How wonderful to share the excitement that fresh (well informed) thinking has on the subject.

Timothy Darvill has tried squaring a lithic arrangement that has the shape of a 'horseshoe'. His plan is wrong. Those of Cleal et al and the official plans are right. My proposals about the monument are being published this summer. Terence Meadenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02813784055786779112noreply@blogger.com
