Whenever I read anything about how a monument is aligned towards the rising sun on the Winter Solstice, or some other such mystic arrangement, I do find myself wondering how that was achieved. Unless there’s a secret stash of prehistoric timepieces that the archaeologists haven’t interpreted the bejesus out of yet, I’m not sure how one’s aware of how short the day is.

Yorkshire Dales Landscape Research Trust. While we mostly used triangulation to delineate interesting rocks on our drawing, we found that the results worsened as we approached the edge of the trench, as the inaccuracies of the method became a high percentage of the measurement taken. Therefore, for the rocks around the centre of the trench, we decided to use offsetting and ‘swinging the tape’ in order to record these rocks. Written on August 8th, 2012 , Diploma Year One. Taking care to keep the tapes hor...
