Observatory in Powys there is a symbolic stone circle of limestone
blocks, removed from Ely Cathedral during renovations, and dedi-
cated to Princess Diana (Fig. 7.30c ) . That inscription is thought
to be more recent than the circle, but even so, it's all more recent
than Sighthill, and although several of the stones have carvings of
planets and constellations, they're not aligned accurately to ris-
ing and setting points (Fig. 7.30b ) . Quite a number of stone circles
have been built in recent years, including replicas of Stonehenge
on latitudes where they won't work; but as far as I know, we are
the first to have done what we did. Some significant things have
been learned as a result, and they'll be explained in Chap. 8 .
