Terence Meaden
Publisher: Souvenir Press Ltd Paperback - (March 1997) ISBN: 0285633643
A volume which draws on the evidence of goddess worship and symbolism

The annual fertility celebration of the Marriage of the Gods. The ordering
of the stones signify yoni and womb of the Earth Mother and allows her
midsummer fertilisation by the Sun/ Sky Father to be witnessed by everyone
inside and outside of the monument.

but no-one quite knows why. (Extract from Research in Geomancy 1990-1994
