L'Ancresse Alignment

Walking over L’Ancresse Common, even if only looking for golf balls, one cannot escape the veritable plethora of large seemingly abandoned rocks. Many of them seem to have no reason to be there and many are grouped into circles, chambers and in one astonishing case a straight line!

A huge boulder, that can only be a natural outcrop due to its size, is situated just across the road to the south of the highest point of the common that contains both La Varde and the new Millennium Stone. It is just to the left of the seventh tee (a short par three if you are interested). There are three rocks in a straight line which are aligned east-west.

Undoubtedly there will be other alignments to discover and maybe then somebody can start to throw some light on the subject.
