Also during the course of the project, contact was made
with Tony Crerar, a.k.a. Tony Marchet, who, as well as being a
professional mime artist (hence the stage name), spent many years
independently finding, cataloging and photographing solar and
lunar events on sight-lines and at viewpoints surrounding mono-
liths near Tyn-y-Cwm in Powys, Wales (Fig. 4.24 ) [ 16 ]. Those were
sites never visited by Thom, yet the findings were similar in case
after case and backed up by observations. That it took Marchet a
big part of a lifetime to make those observations gives an idea of
how many people, over how long a time, must have been involved
in finding and marking the sites in the first place.
