LIDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) is an airborne mapping technique, which uses a laser to measure the distance between the aircraft and the ground. Up to 100,000 measurements per second are made of the ground, allowing highly detailed terrain models to be generated at spatial resolutions of between 25cm and 2 metres. At the moment…

Church Croft added to DEERLEAP LINE
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…
Puttenham Church added to SEALE LINE
270_7-puttenham-church-rev Taking advantage of the glorious sunshine of the last few days, and ignoring the bitter cold, I visited Puttenham to revisit the church and look at Bury Hill. I had downloaded the Ordnance Survey of the area around the church to include Bury Hill to the immediate east and to show more detail…
Manor Farm Moat added to the COMPTON LINE
There are only four points on this alignment which is 30 degrees west of the SOUTH LINE reflecting the TYTING LINE which is 30 degrees east of the SOUTH LINE. Unfortunately two of these points have relevance problems, this being one of them, but the alignment is of extraordinary accuracy. Plan of Manor Farm…
Culverswell Barrow
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 CROOKSBURY LINE at 232.32 degrees from North would appear to be aligned to the mid-winter sunset. At just over 7 Druid Miles…
St Nicholas Church, Compton
I now turn my attention to one of the most interesting sites – the church of St Nicholas in the village of Compton. The church is mainly Norman in construction with a Saxon tower to the West end. This church is unique in having a two-storey sanctuary above the chancel built in the 12th century….
Weston Wood Mound and Settlement
The NEWLANDS LINE, at 132° is 100 ° from the Crooksbury Line, and again starts from Whitmoor Barrow. At 4 Druid Miles (DM) it passes through St John’s Church at Merrow and carries on to Newlands Corner Barrow at 6 DM. These distances are very precise and have been used as the decided criterion of…
Developments
After sifting through the numerous pages of calculations and speculations accumulated over years of intermittent research it became apparent that a decision must be made to settle on some criterion upon which all this data could be based. There were two lines which stood out from the others as extraordinary – the Newlands line…
Whitmoor Barrow Extra Pictures
I have been lucky enough to hitch a ride in a neighbour’s De Havilland Chipmunk. After a tour around the North Downs he asked if there was anywhere special that I would like to see so I took the opportunity to do a few circuits around Whitmoor Barrow as I was intrigued by the possibility…
Entry be added to St Martha’s Church under ST CATHERINE’S LINE
Chilworth is a linear village following the River Tillingbourne and was a centre for the manufacture of gunpowder from the 17th century until the First World War. The parish church has always been St Marthas, sited high above the village to the North, on what has been called Martyrs Hill. The church was rebuilt from…
