"Come on! Anyone who has watched Outlander knows these are for transporting yourself back and forth in time."

Or Highlander, and Methos just got pissy and took some guys head.

Got hubby an Isle of Lewis chess set for his birthday. Seeing those pieces, I can believe the kegger explanation.

Thirg got Zotted, so they erected a stone circle so as to avoid the deadly spot.

Then another.

Then another.

Then another............

Gonna rock, gonna rock, all around the alleged archaeoastronomical clock tonight...

So they saw lightning hit, then placed a stone circle. That is where the thought is.

But what did they think the spot was ‘hit’ for? I wonder what they believed about the reasoning behind the ‘supernatural’ choice?

I sure wish these guys left written artifacts.

[Beowulf9]

I get they thought it was a supernatural force, but what did they believe it was chosen for I wonder? Or was it just they believed that that force was telling them where to erect the circle, and even so, then, what for? I suddenly had a thought, seriously, like a lightning bolt hit me, was this their ‘church’?
