A re-examination of the WAVERLEY LINE has led me to believe that this alignment could be more precise if I abandoned the notion that Point 251/7 at Merrow Church had to be exactly coincidental to Point 132/4, also at Merrow Church but on the crossing of the NEWLANDS LINE. I stuck to this idea because both points have a remarkable accuracy with the Druid Mile (DM), Point 132/4 being four DM on the 132-degree line from the base point of Whitmoor Barrow, and 251/7 being three DM from East Clandon Church. A plan of this church from a local history website shows the outline of the original eleventh-century building. If the centre of this structure is taken as the revised start to the alignment (nothing is currently found to the east) and the termination is taken as the centre of the Monk’s Choir within the nave of Waverley Abbey, then the accuracy of the alignment through six points becomes astonishingly precise. There is a slight change in the angle from grid north at 251.50 degrees to 251.53. This has the effect of moving the line from just outside the buildings of East Clandon Church and Merrow Church to the centre of the structures. I have redrawn the site plans of these six points and revised the respective overall plan and datasheet.
