This entry, one of an unprecedented 52, has won the September 2005 West Dakota Prize, awarded for successfully employing the expression "legend states" in a complete sentence.
"The base of the monument is 167 m (550 ft) in diameter and perfectly round"
Going by the pictures on here, the base of the monument certainly isn't 'perfectly round'. Perhaps this needs to be ammended. - Bill 11/05/07 (UK) 09.40am
Could you compare it to the Pyramids of Gizeh? Which is bigger?
- Well, this one is small in comparsion. The hill is about 40 metres high, the largest pyramids are about three times taller. You can fit something like 15 "hills" inside a pyramid, (approx, the sides of the pyramids are much steeper than the hillsides so it is a little hard to estimate). // Solkoll 23:50, 3 Apr 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Template:Megalith
I've created a new template for megalithic sites, Template:Megalith, as used on Pikestones and Round Loaf. Some instructions on the template talk page, to show how to use it. Cheers! --PopUpPirate 13:29, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

These are NOT positive crop marks: they are two crop circles made in a field which has since been harvested. Positive crop marks are caused by underground features (ditches, walls etc); crop circles are caused above ground by drunken young farmers or Army types on secret night-time missions, or crazed hippies. Take your pick. 81.157.196.251 15:44, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
