Field notes, fresh from the chalk.
Site visits, archive finds, alignments confirmed and disputed, and the occasional wandering thought from the hill.
A slow journal — not a feed.
This is where the site grows. New writing arrives when there is something worth writing — a return visit at solstice, a fragment found in the archive, a reader’s correction worth talking through. There is no schedule and no obligation.
If you would like the new pieces in your inbox, you can subscribe via the Contact page. No tracking, no marketing — just the new piece, occasionally.
Forthcoming field notes.
Solstice 2026: a return.
The annual visit at midsummer sunrise. What the light did this year, and what the working theory looks like in the round.
A note on Watkins's ley.
A close reading of the alignment Alfred Watkins drew through the figure in 1922 — what stands up, and what doesn’t.
The priory record, re-read.
Recently digitised material from the Wilmington Priory archive, and what it does and doesn’t say about the figure on the hill.
