THE WANDLEBURY ENIGMA: EARTH MYSTERIES AND ANCIENT SITES IN CAMBRIDGESHIRE AND ESSEX
Although claimed to be an "Iron-age hill fort", Cambridgeshire's most prominent and important sacred site, the Wandlebury complex has all the traits of a major megalithic monument. Going south from the site it has a 21 mile 'Loxodrome' alignment that stretches to Hatfield Forest, marked by ancient megaliths, earth mounds and circular earthworks, that has been dated to 3,500BC. The famous 'Mary' earth energy current also goes through the site and over the Gogmagog hills and through fields where several crop circles have appeared. 'Wormwood Hill', a man-made mound near Wandlebury has many strange stories attached to it, from out-of-body experiences, to ghost sightings and UFOs. A chalk hill figure was rediscovered on the site in the 1950s by Tom Lethbridge and the 'Cambridge ley' also bisects the circular ring. Claims that Troy was based at Wandlebury and not in Turkey, has turned a few heads and archaeological discoveries seem to back this up. The Iceni tribes and possibly Queen Boudica herself frequented Wandlebury, so maybe it is now time to put this incredible sacred landscape firmly back on the historical map. www.wandlebury.com
