When Hatty and I were doing our Megalithic thing, two questions never got resolved:
1. Why were the Megalithics so obsessed by the furthest points west/south of landmasses?
2. What was the significance of Troy Towns?
Listening to On Your Farm yesterday on Radio Four--I like to keep up with what everyone else is doing--I was rather disappointed to hear this week they were in the Scilly Isles. Who wants to grow flowers and make daffodil-flavoured ice cream?
My ears perked up when they said they were visiting a farm on St Agnes, the southernmost Scilly isle. They (I've got two) perked up even more when they said it was the southernmost farm on St Agnes and was--verily, in the BBC's own words--at the most southwestern point of the whole of Britain.
But when they said it was Troy Town Farm I lost interest. Too much information for a Sunday morning, my day of rest.

Consider the contrast
Nipawin Medicine Wheel Reconciliation Park Country: Canada
While researching the Nipawin Reconciliation Park in downtown Nipawin, Saskatchewan, I came upon a website about the Nipawin Reconciliation Medicine Wheel which is located just north of the Nipawin Hydro Electric Station. South of the site was destroyed to make way for the Hydro Electric Station but the ancient settlement site north of the station is still there and has been commemorated by an Aboriginal Medicine Wheel monument. http://www.megalithic.co.uk/article.php?sid=60891 |
I trust the Nipawin have been suitably reconciled.
Manchester Ship Canal Stone Country: England
This marker stone was placed here in 1889 to mark a nearby oak tree grown from an acorn planted in the first sod cut for the Manchester Ship Canal at Eastham in 1887 by Lord Egerton of Tatton. The sod was collected by Henry Boddington of nearby Pownall Hall and it was he who planted the acorn and had spot marked with the carved stone. The oak tree is still there and is now quite substantial. http://www.megalithic.co.uk/article.php?sid=61653 |
The Manchester Ship Canal was built last century and is already fit only for the heritage museum.
