When the positions of the pits were computer modeled against the movement of the sun, the true importance became clear. The calculation showed amid the summer’s day, the eastern pits alignment1 with sunrise and western pits alignment with sunset, intersected the location of where the Stonehenge would be built some 400 years later. Accurate solar alignment on this scale provided proof of day-long ceremony how to celebrate the passage of the sun at the summer solstice. The linkage2 of these pits with the Cursus which is sometimes regarded as processional route to mark the passage of the sun, actually links the Cursus itself with the position of Stonehenge because that’s the point which we presume the observations were taken place. So the point that the Cursus’s built, the Stonehenge is acquiring significance as well. The revelations about the Cursus suggested the site of Stonehenge had a ritual significance at least 4 centuries earlier than we originally thought. It’s possible that pits predate the Stonehenge, and they were related to the phase of the activity before the Stonehenge was built, associated with Cursus. This creates a very new and exciting aspects in Stonehenge landscape which was not recognized previously3.
